Good company to work for.
Being a store manager is challenging but it is what you make of it. Planning your day is very important! If it's done correctly everything else will fall into place. Ensuring you have enough staff to cover your tills and risk areas. Customer service is very important and you should ensure it is a priority. I have gained alot of experience in how to effectively lead a team. Team work is very important and ensuring you have a succession in progress.
Pros: Growth is always possible
Cons: Going home late

Excellent learning curve especially in understanding customers
Dealing with customers face to face. My typical work day is to make sure that my customers are happy and appreciated. My relationship with my co workers is more of helping each other,sharing ideas working together to achieve one goal which is to make our customers our number one priority and reaching our target. I have learnt to be patient,I have learnt not to take things personally and most of all to empathise with customer's. I enjoy smiling at my customers as it brightens my day and give joy to my customer's and my company. Most challenging aspects are dealing with an irate customer.
Pros: To learn more and grow within the company if opportunity may arise.
Cons: Long working hours as we once experienced robbery
