Jacob

A typical day at work would involve opening the store, setting up the cash desk, briefing the staff on the KPI's on the day and their goals. Once the store is open, assisting customers with their needs while making sure the day to day operations got done. As well as payroll and inventory.

At Jacob I learned all about how store operations run. Everything from loss prevention to KPI's and how the littlest of details can help bring a store to its full potential.

My co-workers were fantastic. We had a very motivated and hard working team. All thanks to the great management that was in place.

The hardest part of my job was getting the electro statics to stay on the window. They could be so stubborn.

The most enjoyable part of the job was styling the customers to their specifications and seeing how that right outfit can change their mood.

I loved my job with Jacob. This was a career for me as I moved to many locations across the lower mainland in the highest volume locations in Western Canada. This company was well structured and maintained its people through values. I learned to many skills including sales driving, standard implementing, loss prevention, visual standards, human resources, team building. My job position titles were Assistant Manager, Associate Manager, Store Manager, Visual Manager . I choose to move to the island for a better life for my son with my family support and better quality of life for him. At that time Jacob unfortunately did not have a position to continue my service with them. They have now since closed their doors for good.

Working at Jacob has been amazing. The hours are great so far, approximately 30-35 hours a week. I've been trained on cash so there's more responsibility and challenges to face which is great. 

Management is great, they accommodate every employee need, and create a good work-life balance with hours scheduled. 

The hardest part of the job would be dealing with difficult customer needs however with patience, sympathy and problem solving skills, it's possible to overcome those difficulties. 

The most enjoyable part of the job is the management and co workers. You spend so much of your week with them, that it's essential to get along to deliver the best service to customers. The people at this store are amazing to work with.

Jacob was a great company to work for and they always work on training the staff to move up in the company, on the downside of that training, because it was a small company with a small number of stores there was not as much growth as I would hope.  The management with in the store as well as Head Office were always there to help an employee when it was needed and took an interest in their employees and would do their best to accomidate when there were personal problems in the employees lives.

Kept up to date with sales promotions 
learned five selling steps to achieve the store daily sale goals.
Management and sales associate worked together as a team 
to ensure productivity of the store. 
working with people with different perspectives of fashion 
made for a wider range of style knowledge to accommodate every customers unique style.

Worked here for a temporary summer job during one of my relocations. Nothing special, but the staff did make the most of an intellectually void job. Did learn many conflict resolution skills which can be applied to any number of situations

Jacob Motors is a great place to work at, they offer a great work environment and have great people working for them. it is very easy to work there and the owner cares about his workers.

Had a great experience at Jacob, have had the pleasure to work with some of the best people in the retail industry. The most enjoyable part of my job is the interaction with my staff and customers

though the oportunities were there, many times employees were held back by upper management

salary for management did not reflect their hard work which resulted in a lack of commitment in return

Jacob was a nice place to work as a student with a part time job. I could get clothes that were age appropriate with my employee discount. Customers were sometimes difficult but that was not management's fault.
