Read a Testimonial from one of our Assistant Managers

''My 8 years at the Entertainer has provided the best experience I have had in my 46 year working life. I feel so lucky to be in a job I love. I started as a 20 hour contract and quite quickly discovered I had a talent for sales and customer service, this was acknowledged by the company and store management and rewarded, this gave me a major boost personally. I was encouraged and supported to improve any weakness’s I felt I had, this was done through both instore and online training. I have finally found a company whose mission, morals and values match my own. It’s a family run business and every store I have visited has a warm friendly welcome. Everyone is equal, we all get a fair opportunity to advance if you want too and hard work and commitment is always acknowledged and rewarded. This is evident in my progression from a 20 hour Sales Assistant to Assistant Manager, where I now feel I have the tools and confidence to lead a team and manage a store.

The day to day of the job is rewarding too. The little steps at the till allow the child to pay themselves, the laughs and smiles I have had chatting to them always makes my day and there’s. Also helping a confused parent or grandparent pick out the perfect toy and seeing them smile when I have helped them find that perfect gift makes it all worth while for me''
