Things Remembered Employer Reviews

A typical day is helping customers find a nice gift and get it engraved. The hardest part of the job is remembering where everything is stored. The most enjoyable part is seeing the customers face when you show them their engraved product.

While working for this employer i learned alot about engraving different types of metal and glass, also I learned how to be more courteous – more... and customer service helpful, i think for me the hardest part of this job was telling myself to take a break because i enjoyed working here so much i didnt want to stop for breaks, the most enjoyable part of this job was the look of satisfaction on the customers face when they saw our completed work. – less

Though hard times arrived with questionable employees and work staff drama,
which I would have to say was the hardest part of working in retail.
I still enjoyed and was excited to go to work everyday. – less

A typical day at Things Remembered would be a store filled with customers trying to buy an unforgettable gift for loved ones. As an employees duty we would be responsible to fulfill the customers need. As compensation we would feel satisfied with the smile on an individuals face while they walk out of the store.

A typical day at work consisted of assisting customers with all their engraving needs, doing machine maintainance on the engraving machines, handling money, keeping store clean and organized, as well as putting away shipment. While working for this company, I learned time management, how to do nightly money drops in the deposit, how to correctly handle – more... money, and overall, a professional customer service technique. Management at this store changed three times over my eight year employment with them. While I did not agree with the way the store was sometimes ran, I respected each manager and assistant manager with the best of my ability. My co-workers were great people. Always there to lend a hand or explain something that was not understood. We worked well as a team. The hardest part of this job was trying to please all of the customers. If an item that they purchased was not done to their expectations, it had to be redone. Sometimes they would get really angry, but in the end, it usually worked itself out. The most enjoyable part of this job was getting to hear incredible backstories from customers about why they chose a certain gift or a certain message to go on the gift. It was also always nice to see repeat customers and get caught up on their lives and the lives of their families. – less

Was a lot of fun. Got to meet and deal with a lot of people. Learned to engrave on just about everything and turn people gifts into something special.

Management was inefficient, co-workers were alright(some amazing, some horrible to work with), worked there for nearly 5 years, was interviewed 4 times for the assistant management position, passed up every time.

The salary was minimum wage, but there would be a 10 cent increase for about a month before minimum wage in state would go up. The raise – more... did not carry over.

Slow store, except certain holidays. . Usually only one person per shift, very lonely, and leaves you no chance to leave to get food or drink. Likewise, using the bathroom could be a challenge, especially if people did walk by the store.

Near the end of my time there, I was averaging 3 hours a week. Had t to get 2 other jobs to make enough to live off of. Quit shortly after obtaining my third job. – less

I only worked for two weekends during the Christmas season. I enjoyed learning about how to engrave gifts. I worked with a close friend of mine and she happened to be one of the managers at the time. She taught me what I needed to know for the time I was there. The hardest part was not understanding right of the start what was required of me and I had – more... little time to find out but the great thing was after hours, I picked up. It was easy and fun job. – less

Greet Customers in less than 10 seconds, ask them if I could help they get started on anything. Then a few minutes later see if we can start a work order form. And then check them out at the register.
After working for 6 hours in a mall, talking constantly I would like to get a drink of water or a snack. I got yelled at multiple times for getting a – more... sip of water when the store was not busy. I didnt get a break at all the whole time I worked there. – less

Used to be a great place to work when I first started & the DMs actually came from in the stores so they knew what you were going through. These days they hire just about anyone who will be 'aggressive' w/the employees & the customers. It's all about the money these days.
