Excellent growth opportunities and career mentoring.
Although several years in the company, I was afforded several promotion opportunities throughout my tenure at Edcon and never remained in one role. Smart work was always recognised, and appreciated and made way for growth. Employees were always encouraged to develop themselves and provide input on working conditions and on any issue related to the working environment. The spirit of inclusion and diversity was strong. We lived the Edcon values of always putting people first.
Pros: Great opportunities for promotion and rewards.
Cons: Workload was excessive at times.

Excellent learning curve
My work starts by looking at daily sales and then from there i look at emails from suppliers if theres any queries . I also print out various reports that relates to on time and late orders that still needs to come. I have an excellent working relationship with co workers. I have learnt from my job negotiating and dealing with suppliers that is relationship management. I enjoy building product ranges for customers and travelling as well. When not trading the inflexibility to cancel out of stock thats not trading due to supplier lead times.
Pros: Great opportunities for learning.
Cons: Job security

Blue Ocean
Dynamic environment which was fast paced, no slow period in the month (end to end busy). A Business Operating Processing Centre that handled on average 125K calls per month per department excluding outbound and written queries, with the following departments (New Accounts, Customer Services, Collections, Digital, Fraud and Disputes). Diverse team with an exclusive management structure, learned to be able to handle pressure and changes. Enjoyed building relationships with clients and the staff. The demands of the job were a lot in terms of busyness and call flow especially during peak periods.
Pros: Job rotation, incentives, shares and bonues
Cons: Busyness and long working hours

Excellent learning curve
A typical work day consists of reporting, analysis and other related activities. The company culture is ok but the room for growth is small and is not entirely based on the skill level, but rather on other factors and depending on whether the people interviewing you think you are the right person for the job
Pros: Good experience
Cons: Promotions are not based on skill level

Great learning opportunities
Good working relationship, lots of team work. Learnt to many skills. Travel and meet lots of people. Challenging part is to upskill staff. Training staff to understand how to read reports and use it can be a challenge, however once understood they use it to better their business unit.
Pros: great learning opportunities
Cons: lots of travelling
