Employee Experience

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 love seeing kids get excited about seeing their favourite toys in stock; it brings me back to when I was younger and enjoyed those same toys. On busy weekends, I like to replenish and make myself available for everybody, whether that's to grab an item off the top shelf or to recommend a toy or bestseller for Christmas. I feel that those little jobs like restocking can make a big difference to a customer visiting our store for the first time.”
