Not a company for everbody to work in
My typical work day is doing store visit to update staff about layouts,promotions,new structure and display layouts.I have a good understanding with my colleagues and we work well together.I have learned that not everything is black and white and that understanding people is very important to have a good work flow,and a good understanding of the systems you need to work with.I enjoy working with the people in the stores,training and upskilling them.The most challenging is getting to all the stores in a short space of time.Making sure everybody understand their role they plan in the company and to get everybody to work towards one goal
Pros: You have freedom to work as you see fit and to implement your new ideas
Cons: The owner is not always understanding and like to het rid of people he does not like

My work experience
A typical work day, start off with a to do list once that is complete. I send the buyers the daily sales doc. Emails are always checked to make sure that all amendments are completed before the end of the day in regards to cost changes as well as delivery dates. According to my to do list I complete every task that's on there for the day. I have a good relationship with my co-workers we are all like a family here. I have learnt so much in the 7 years I have been at Edcon from all the admin work I have to do, to building ranges and communicating with suppliers , briefing them and negotiating costs. The best part of my job is working with product and getting to learn more about the fabrications that are used across different styling. Building ranges for the different seasons. Most challenging aspect is making sure that the correct product is put into stores and it is actually what the customer wants and will buy.
Pros: Getting to do what i love and actually making a living
Cons: Long working hours

Great interpersonal skills
I am a social person and its great to meet new people and interact with them on a daily basis. My former colleagues were great to work with as we were all women and to deal with different characters. I definitely learnt alot from them too as you work in teams. I enjoyed waking up in the morning to know I will be helping someone in need. Most challenging aspect about the job was dealing with un-satisfied clients and making them happy to leave the shop satisfied with my assistance.
Pros: new experience
Cons: working hours
