The basic àre the same but at every company the mode is differend Cum is the company with the most paper work I have been work for Sins I start work at Cum I did make a few sedations that changes and improved our work capacity . I learn a lot . I had learn how to do overseas payment and a new way of recons do . I met intresst people and get along with my colleges. As we are more the 15 in an open office you need to get respect one another I have the feeling that I get respect form my colleagues and we havr not an oain with each other . My boss and me also worked nice together .The company self look afther his workers I just feel its time for something new before i must retire and as an single working oersone I had to look after my self and need a better salary

Pros: At Cum every body is sitting in his or hers position their is no or very small changes to move forward . My collegae is going no because of getting no opportunity to get on se sits in the possion for more then 8 years doing the same day ofter day You not getting opportunity to learn something els . So their is no way to get on
Cons: We work from 8 to 5 Monday to Friday .At 8 when the bell rings you bneed to be at you desk until 10 when the bell rinnig for 10min tea time and be back at 10 pass when it ring again until 1 for 1hour lunch . at 2 back till 15h30 for tea time and then yntill 5 . Moste companies knock on Friday early of vut not Cum not even on n long weakend Cum is open between Christmas and New year .

Good for students studying part time.

A typical day would include Opening the store,carrying door keys Do some administration tasks,pint labels,check managerial reports,tidy up store before opening up,open store.Help clients with products,assist them in every area,work on the till..assist cashier Give feedback to manager..work on sales . It brings me great joy in helping customers find what they need at the current moment in there lives. I have a good relationship with the staff and higher management but feel overworked due to constant skeleton staff,There's not much to learn in the company and very slow growth .

Pros: Meeting people from all walks of life
Cons: Long hours,no staff transportation and under paid

It is something new for me since I never worked with books before

The way they do things its different from what I have experience for their line of managing is way to different, as a supervisor u do a lot more than what u earning of which at times is too much .I enjoy working with people customers interacting with them and all ,the most challenging aspect of the job is when you have to do double shifts and having to be standby for others even if its your off weekend n not discussed,I have learned abt authors that I didn't know that they do exist and more about the word of god,my co workers we like sisters at work because that's were we live 24/7

Pros: Nope promotions takes time
Cons: Working long hours no exceptions

I learned how to be leader of my team

I enjoy working at the company because I interact with people, and I deal with customers on a daily basis ad I have a good working relationship with my co-workers. I learned how to be a team leader and how to solve staff problems and I enjoy the spiritual books the most. The most challenging aspect of my job is dealing with angry customers

Pros: promoted to Supervisor
Cons: Working here is a great experience but the only challenge is the language barrier
