Best buy
Greeted customers upon entering store. Checked receipts to ensure customers were walking out with correct product. Did a weekly safety walk to ensure we were up to safety standards. I also completed a closing or opening walk to ensure products were censored or cased according to standard. Checked associates bags and coats every time they left the store. Mo stored cameras to ensure help was sent to departments that needed it and made sure I watched any suspicious activity to ensure that if someone was stealing we caught it before they walked out the store. When I transitioned to sales I helped clients select appliances based on their needs. I specialized in Samsung product coaching and training other associates on the product.
