Excellent and gained lots of experience
What I have really learned its to leave on the expectations my stock loss turnover results were excellent below the benchmark.I learned to be more in control and to be a team player in all areas.
Pros: Great opportunity for my career level
Cons: Retail hours

Good learning experience
I had a great experience at my previous job, Good coligues and Manager.The people I was working with taught me so many things that I was not aware of, they were very good people . When I first started working I was welcome very nicely. But the only problem was that we were not earning much. We were working overtime but the money was still not satisfying according to the work that were doing. I have learn how to treat customers, even if they have attitude towards you,you need to be calm. I have learn how to work fast and effective. I loved working at JAM. I was always work to wake in the morning and go to work even though they were not paying what we expected but I was happy with what i was getting.
Pros: I was a part-time employee ideas not really much luck of promotions,but there were promotions from a causal worker to a permanent worker.I was promoted from working at the underwear department to the fitting room and men's department
Cons: Working long hours was not easy but I would say it was a good experience,especially for me I felt thatha was growing now and I'm starting to take care of me and my family with made me to stay at this company.

Great learning curve
when I joined jam clothing I knew nothing about retail but now I know a lot. I grew within a job in such a short space of time. learned how to merchandise, customer service, how to use the pos system on the till, how to insert price tags and do stock taking. I worked for only 2 months as a casual then became a permanent because the company saw potential in me. sometimes I help them with filing because I have experience as a receptionist and I know my way around the office and I have a team work spirit. challenging aspect was when the area manager recognises my good job but the manager was negative towards everything I do.
Pros: excellent learning curve
Cons: workload too high but the salary is low

Company excellence
JAM is a good and caring company that treat their clients and employees equally. Their company specialising in fulfilling their customer needs Most of the time I enjoyed their customer service Their working hours are very long but enjoyable I enjoyed working on a busy or hectic days because time runs faster I have learnt alot in the company how to treat customers, communicating with suppliers, working with other people (team work) How to run promotion, bookkeeping n administration Its feels great to work with others The most challenging in retail business is to deal with difficult customer and not reaching the daily targets
Pros: Its great opportunity for promotion if you are a hardworker
Cons: Their working hours are long but enjoyable

Jam is not a fast pase company
The treatment of management is the same like casual employees, and for employees to grow within the company is very difficult as it moves in a low pase
Pros: it is very difficult to get promoted
Cons: monday to sunday, sunday not being paid treated as rest day

Not bad at all
It is not bad at all however I feel like the system is either outdated or it is not easy to use. The other thing is there is no better communication between the company and the employees especially regarding the job descriptions and training duration as a new person. The other thing I have learned is that emplees don't get over times. Instead they are forced to work Sundays and get days offs. The first 3 months is a contract /on probation
Pros: They hire everyday
Cons: Working long hours and Sundays without overtime
