Employee Testimonial

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 The Entertainer's customers. Seeing kids get excited about their favourite toys brings me back to when I was younger. It is very rewarding to see the excited and thrilled looks on their faces. On busy weekends, I love replenishing stock and being available to assist customers. Being a Seasonal Sales Assistant is fulfilling as I believe those little jobs like restocking can make a big difference to a first-time visitor.”
