As a manager/executor at the store level, I do morning huddles where I communicate the financials of the store with the staff, I check that everyone is ready to serve the first customer by looking at the appearance, wearing correct uniform with name badge visible to customers. I ensure the cash float is issued correctly to cashiers and the store is ready to accept the first customer in terms of OHSA act. I check the hazard counts in high risk departments like cellular and branded items. I randomly test the product knowledge to ensure that they know what are they offering to customers including daily promotions.
Pros: Staff empowerment shares
Cons: Alarm callouts at night

Excellent learning environment
It is a fast environment that is highly pressurised. It teaches one to be a self starter, solve problems and make decisions. Planning and organising skill is required and exercised regularly. What I enjoy the most is the opportunity of building and maintaining a good working relationship with different business partners. Advising them and making joint decision s that will benefit the business. What is most challenging is the continous projects that are introduced. Change management, consulting and the climate is monitored continuously.
Pros: Great opportunity of operating at a high position
Cons: long working hours
