Job Responsibilities
My main responsibilities include greeting all customers, vendors, visitors, etc. i gather information from customers needing service and direct them to the appropriate advisor to continue the process. if a visitor is not there for service, but still needs either info or guidance to a certain dept., i help in directing them to satisfy their needs. i participate in helping customers with basic service needs in order to help cut back waiting time and customer satifaction. when all service is complete, i assist advisors in calling customers who are not waiting in our lounge to inform them of the completion of their services, and when necessary, explain in detail what services have been rendered, and of office hours for them to pick up their cars. i cover our receptionists duties when she is either away at lunch, or absent, which include answering all in coming service calls, setting appointments, giving pricing for certain services, talking the customer through services that they are able to do on their own with help. and directing calls to the apprpriate person/department.
Uppers
The best thing about my job is the people experience. i get constant interaction with the public and i thoroughly enjoy helping people and customer service. i enjoy engaging in conversation with the customers, and the gratification of being thanked by customers for helping them
Downers
I feel that the only downer in my job is the constant disregard from my management pertaining to my requests for advancement. i believe that my director does not like me, and that he's waiting for me to foul up so that he can fire me. i've never been included in any of the quarterly reviews that are supposed to be mandatory. i'm given the paper work to fill out, but have never reviewed it with my mangement. when i ask when it will take place i'm always told tomarrow. but tomarrow never comes. i've complained to my manager before regarding being bad mouthed constantly by a fellow employee, and was never taken seriously, and so i went to the gm, and was scolded by my manager when he found out. so i went to hm to file a complaint because the isues were never resolved and ever since then he has teated me unfairly.
Advice to Jobseekers
At this point I feel that you have to make your own experience out of it because i feel i have no support.
