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?:
-
