in class experience when it s most needed. Wayfair will give you
the training, tools, and decision-making ability to help our
customers find solutions that work best for them. You will
empathetically help customers navigate a variety of post-order
issues such as: shipping questions, damages, returns, replacements,
assembly services and order notifications. No scripts. No canned
responses. These are true human to human interactions where you can
make a meaningful impact. Wayfair will invest in you with
continuous development, career opportunities, and will surround you
with a team of great people. What Does a Service Associate Do?:
- Demonstrates Reliability: Attendance and commitment to being

most. For unexpected events or issues, we require our associates to

possible.

customer problems in a first contact resolution approach.

tabs, tools, and screens in order to quickly and effectively answer
