She is reliable, has excellent communication skills, puts forth 110 percent effort every
day, and has a very professional and pleasant attitude. Ms. Kay is a problem-solver

She definitely keeps the office moving and is a key employee in the department. Ms. Kay’s accomplishments are many. Recently, she

been “holding down the fort” while her coworker was away on maternity and bereavement leave almost back-to-back.

Sales Associate, Sight&Sound/Photo Department, Main Store
Rhea’s duties include assisting and serving customers with location, selection and
purchase of merchandise with an emphasis on World Class Customer Service. She
is responsible for merchandising, display, signage and appearance of department
areas and possesses basic knowledge of electronics. Rhea has been with MCCS for
over a year. She is a leader in Keep It New sales. In this competition she has always
exceeded the normal results. She often goes above and beyond what is required of
her. Rhea exemplifies World Class Customer Service. The communication skills that
she possesses are very effective and she uses them to sell numerous add-on products daily. Rhea is very dependable and punctual.
At times when other departments are short staffed, Rhea is always relied upon to work in those areas. She is a hard worker who pays
attention to detail, and she takes great pride in all projects she is assigned to. Rhea generates the best possible results for any task

to make them more customer-friendly and appealing. She is always available at a
moment’s notice to change her schedule to accommodate the store’s needs or assist
another store in need of staffing. Jennifer works well with everyone she comes in
contact with. Jennifer has been given the new task of ordering and stocking the pet
area in the absence of a retail operations assistant on maternity leave who is normally in charge of this area. She has taken great
