What our colleagues say

“Working at The Entertainer, there is never a boring day! From serving customers on the tills, to bringing in and working the delivery, there is always something to keep me busy on my shift. I really enjoy merchandising all the new stock that comes in, pricing it up and making it easy for customers our to shop - seeing that new toy go from the back of our wagon, through the stockroom and onto the shop floor and into the child’s hands to buy - is a really rewarding part of my job. On weekends, we get to demonstrate our best sellers to the customers, blow bubbles out of the front door to recreate the magic that’s happening inside. I love being a Sales Assistant at The Entertainer!”
