The Foschini Retail Group Reviews

 

Since I am in a graduate programme, to me it is still a learning curve

And I am currently working for The Foschini Retail Group as a Systems Trainer and as well as Programme Support Specialist, in this role I get assigned work in various projects across the Human Resources Division and I have been doing absolutely well. I am in amazing team. They are very helpful. I have learnt This experience have given me an opportunity of strengthening skills required in a workplace practice such as honesty, integrity, the ability to interact and foster positive and harmonious relationships with colleagues. I enjoy most helping clients. Customer service is what matters most to me. The most challenging aspect here is providing support to store managers all over the world, it breaks my heart having to help them over the phone because they are very far from me.

Pros: Training is always provided
Cons: less opportunities of permanent employement

Excellent learning curve

I love working for the foschini group but ive experience that theres a lack of motivation in some arears and no interest in the growth of staff members . everyday is the same process nd being unfairly treated is one of the issues ive experienced in retail there are no challenges which makes you want to succeed . What i do enjoy is working with people and giving the best service also advising clients to buy the proper products that suits their needs . My daily routine does not only consist in selling but also having my book work up to date and knowing my business .being target driven Acknowledgements of stock is done daily and also keeping the department neat and tidy and shopable . I also have to work out schedules for staff and overide on computers Communicate with staff their daily duties and keep them up to date about upcoming promotions and events .

Pros: Great opportunity to learn
Cons: Long working hours

Taught me how to stay calm and communicate with different types of people,

We would start the shift with a short meeting of the targets for the night. We then log on to the automated dialer and wait for our calls. I was in a team that consisted of 8 people and a supervisor. We enjoyed working together because it was a constant battle for who makes the most sales. I enjoyed making my targets the most because that would mean i could get my incentives. The most challenging aspect of my job was to try and persuade the client that does not even want to listen to what you have to offer but that is just another challenge that i have learned to overcome.

Pros: Good work environment
Cons: Had to work 6 days a week with no other off days.

Excellent learning curve

I enjoy my job but its just that i feel i am not getting paid my worth. There is no work/life balance. No weekends off meaning no time with your family. Sometimes i feel like a slave, but what can i do i need the money and it is so hard to find another job.

Pros: great opportunity for growth
Cons: Late shifts
