Was a great atmosphere to work in
My week entails a lot of deadlines together with tasks that come up that are urgent. Attention to detail in all tasks is mandatory. Considering that I work without the supervision of a buyer/manager, decisions need to be made using both experience and wisdom. To me I see this as a challenge to work under pressure where usually deadlines are met timeously. Since I have the ability to liaise with all levels of people in the work place, this makes my tasks to complete, more easy. The joy and strength of colleagues all around me is a strength to pursue and push through difficult days.
Pros: People that I have always worked around makes the atmosphere to work in so much better. Experience gained is what I will always take with me. Altough always busy, my day is fullfilled.
Cons: Sometimes not recognized for efforts and work put into the job. With certain management what is said must be done accordingly, with no suggestions welcome.

Good business to learn from but not a life time job to be in
Work is not so challenging, tough dealing with some people. The company does not pay well and does not provide much opportunity to grow if people see you can perform well in your current position. Annual increase is terrible and not willing to understand workers positions. Don't get paid accordingly.
Pros: some employees are nice
Cons: Pays less

Excellent way to gain experience
I am a hard working young lady who is willing to learn more and new things every day, I have worked for the company for more than 7 years which I started as a casual until I was promoted to permanent as I started as a cashier in 2008 and worked my way up to the HR office in 2009 to assist the then HR. I completed my safety management training in 2018 with NOSA in centurion n I believe the training I got there will really help me to become a great safety officer. I enjoy working with people more especially being part of a large group in massmart, I have learnt to work with people, know their different types as I was working with adults n me being young and handling their salaries weekly and montlmade me to b more responsible.
Pros: There's a great promotional opportunity
Cons: As a retail company we worked long hours as we have to be in store at 7:30 am until 19:30pm at times

Excellent learning curve
It is exciting to be at work. it is challenging and fast paced driven by dead lines. I have learnt to be independent and to be focused and prioritize. I enjoy our team meetings the most because that is where I get to chat more with my coworkers, find out what they busy with, our achievements so far and our plans for the future. the most challenging aspect of my Job is our month end.
Pros: Great opportunity to learn
Cons: very tight dead lines hence long working hours

Great learning curve
As a Senior Manager in our of the Game stores a day will start by giving the management Team direction as to what they need to improve on a what needs to done on the day. Regular Team meetings are also held to communicate any changes and listen to issues that might promote a good working invironment and also motivate the team. I can say that I really enjoy working for the company over the past 17 years where I stated from the lowest level and worked my up to be the Branch Manager at the store. Unfortunately I feel the need to grow at this level because under the current company that I'm working for, there is not much opportunities to grow from this level. I have been in Senior Management level for the past 15 years, 7 years being a Branch Manager, and I feel it's time I venture out and try other companies or other opportunities to grow.
Pros: Great learnings
Cons: Less opportunities to grow
