Excellent learning curve
The best part about my job is meeting different people everyday day with different personalities and also knowing that they can trust me to give them the best shopping experience, advise them accordingly and to their needs. And I have been able to learn alot from my counter manager, like how to run a successful business, that's almost always trading up on a monthly basis, the leadership skills that are required to be great Manager and how to manage people and we have team of 6 people altogether and we work well together, and as much as we have personal targets, we also know that we need to help each other to achieve our target and also by focusing on the bigger goal which is to achieve the monthly target. The challenging part of my job is only when we do not have enough resources to make our target, we do alot of demonstrations to be able to show the customer what the product can do and the power of actually feeling it, which immediately creates a connection.
Pros: Healthy environment to work in
Cons: Long working hours

I have been doing Release Management for the past 12 years and Change Management six years.
Typical work day is to review and analyze all change requests with a view to minimize the risks for deployment. We are a team of 5 workers whereby all changes are investigated in detail to ensure quality governance. We live in a changing environment and in order to ensure that our business is protected at all times. I enjoy working with with my staff and as long as the job gets done. The most challenging part of my job is when things go wrong and in turn learning how to root the problem at it's core.
Pros: Learning something new everyday
Cons: No cons

Good experience
My company has made me to be under pressure when its time to work and to also be fast and knowing that the customer is the main purpose we there. Working with my co-workers is so good via team work but our managers promote favouritism at work place. I have learned to open accounts for customers, cellphones specialist, visualising the department and serving customer.
Pros: No promotions
Cons: Long hours and not paid
