Holly, Seasonal Sales Assistant from last year, says: “Working for The Entertainer is a wonderful and thrilling experience; there is never a day where I am bored or have nothing to do. I enjoy restocking and making sure all the prices are correct for all our customers. I enjoy seeing kids excited about toys, which is rewarding; on busy weekends I replenish and make myself available for everyone, whether that’s grabbing an item from the top shelf or recommending a toy or bestseller for Christmas. I love being a Seasonal Sales Assistant because those small tasks like restocking can make a big difference to a customer visiting our store for the first time.”
