What other people had to say about working at Chaar

(reviews from Indeed.com)

“Very friendly, family work environment

Chaar is a great place to work. All workers including management work well together, and they truly do feel like your family, and help you grow. A typical day at work includes helping customers find the right items that suit them, answering the phone, and keeping the store clean. I learned what it is like to work with people you love and how to get along to work together with people to accomplish a shared goal. The hardest part of the job would be the knowledge of the products, but co-workers around you are always willing to help.”

“It was a fun place to work

I genuinely enjoyed my employment at Chaar, my reason for leaving was on a personal level and it did not reflect the company itself. I love the dogs and it was a wonderful communication flow between the managers and staff. I would definitely recommend this company for employment to anyone.”
