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

Solid and proper retail organization. Leader in fashion and international Brands.

Dynamic, fast moving and leader is fashion retail. Days are always different as a buyer you are being guided by the sales trends and what is happening in the market place. Relationships are key as our roles and responsibilities are inter linked as buyers and planners, assistants and general managers, marketing and operations. Have learnt that the most fundamental thing in an organization is communication,, process management, stakeholder management and most importantly, its ALWAYS about the customer. Range building process, traveling abroad to view fashion trends and developing these tends into SA market. The rand/dollar exchange has been the most challenging factor, as importers.

Pros: Greg exposure in predicting sales trends, good market analysis of consumer behavior.
Cons: Can be stressful due to fast moving pace of business.
