Brands Employer Reviews

Typical day started between 3 and 4 am and usually ended by 1 pm. I learned a lot about customer service and product management. Setting display pieces and end caps was a daily activity. I always kept in contact with the management team at all the stores i serviced to try and boost sales. The hardest part of my job was keeping up with the out of date – more... product and proper rotation, sometimes it was difficult to communicate with store management and finalize certain displays and promotions. The best part of my job was dealing with the public and providing the best customer service possible. – less

It was a fun and productive workplace and you got out of it what you put in. The hard work paid off.

My day at work would begin very early everyday. I would review emails and answer any that need attention. I would then proceed to work with my sales team and customers for the majority of the day. My co workers and upper management that I reported to were great! The hardest part of the job was keeping up with a very heavy work load, but I must admit – more... that inside I enjoyed that as it made time pass very quickly. I called on many great customers for over 20 years. I learned that if you care for your customers and take care of their needs, you will experience many great rewards! – less

A typical day on the job was exciting. Worked around people I enjoyed talking to and working with. Management was not the best.
