A Different Ball Game
Working for Nicche Electronics I have surprisingly made a Name for myself with all our Suppliers in the High end Audio Visual Technical Industry. I do the Software Programming on Russound, Rako Light Automation, setting up Security Passwords and Usernames on TP Links. I also extract information and footage from CCTV Surveillance Cameras. I have completed a course on URC which is an Advanced Network System Controller and although it is completely out of my comfort zone, I make it my own. I love travelling and working on client sites and the flexibility of the job. I work at a mobile office which is any coffee shop or Internet Cafe I choose. I've had an opportunity to combine all my skills in Administration, Sales, Managerial, Training and Networking to implement and change the game in what is known as a "Mans' World."
Pros: Endless learning and business opportunities.
Cons: Hardly any females in the industry.

High performance culture and customer centric
Being a store manager in my environment and my customer segment comes with different challenges daily always forcing you to raise your bar from the previous one, it is fulfilling and insightful. It's been a challenge that has grown me as a person. My greates achievement in this role is successfully undergoing a revamp with various complexities from a store size 3200sq to 6002sq within tight timelines and still considering my customer and trade. My second win is seeing my store team delivering on great customer experience despite the store complexities. Being able to influence my team to always put the customer 1st and seeing them feel great about it. My work environment is a fast paced environment which requires every staff member to be on top of their game every hour.
Pros: It's a great company to be part of.
Cons: Long hours spend commuting to work
