Purpose at Ashley 

Our Local Customer Care Agent is the operational backbone of our delivery ecosystem, supporting delivery recovery and customer communication across our Fulfillment Centers.

The team also manages our VIP process, which includes inspecting products and sending photos to customers to help manage expectations. Additionally, Customer Care Agents handle sending time frame communication, managing complex cases, communicating with customers regarding delivery complications at load out, supporting retail store teams, and maintaining proactive customer communication throughout the delivery and recovery journey.
