Not sure what is needed from me in this Review summary
It was difficult to work for a Company who looked for reasons every day to fire staff. The Company is in financial difficulty and therefore they closed down my Warehouse with all the staff that worked under me. I had a wonderful relationship with my staff and also had a Zulu nickname from them, which meant " the kind one". I learnt a lot within the environment I worked in. It was wonderful to get to know so many people, also over the phone and had the opportunity to meet some of them. The most challenging aspects being , was to keep my staff positive because they knew what was coming. Retrenchment in the end !!!
Pros: I can also work as a Bookkeeper/Accountant. Has done partial BComm with 5 year articles.
Cons: Would like weekend off, but don't mind to work if have to.

I love and grow my own seeds
Getting up bright and early, creating my day, seeing where I want to be for the day, planning where I will be calling,who I will be seeing. Making contact with my merchandise teams. Checking all is running smoothly on their call cycles. Assuring stock is displayed and stock counts are being done. Communicating with store managers regarding stock levels.Having fun. Being present and enjoying the day. I have learnt to enjoy every minute of the day and stay focused. What I enjoy most is being me.. the most challenging aspects of the job is negotiating floor space and maintaining neatness and display of stock at all times.
Pros: Being on the Go
Cons: Traffic
