Great place to get work eprience and learn lots of things
Well its good when you start working but after a couple of years, you realise that chances of you getting a better position at the company are slim, because you dont work with your senior/manager at the store so all your hard work goes unnoticed. Working with the people I work with is wonderful, we help each other, in this line of work you need people to help you because you have alot of things to do, so my co-workers are wonderful... well most of them. I'v how to deal with pressure, how to plan my day, how to put things I put things I work with in order. The most challenging is, I work with chips aswel so when they on promotion on a Saturday of month end it gets really hectic.
Pros: Learning and meeting people
Cons: Long hours and little pay

Pack n Stack taught me to think on my feet
Pack n Stack taught me to think on my feet, it also taught me the importance of co workers and teamwork to achieve a common gole that benefits the business. A typical work day entails a lot of pre preperation to have deal sheets and pricing on hand when doing my orders. The most challenging thing about my job is getting stock sold out before it expires, this takes very careful planning and managing of every single stores store rooms
Pros: Big Company to work for
Cons: Communication

I have learnt to persevere and work hard
I pack stock I do emergency orders Pack according to companies principles and layout Take out expiry stock and check for out dated stock I have a good relationship with all of my co-workers in all the stores that I work in. No one complains or tells me to do my job as I do it willingly. I have learnt that we have to keep going whether we like it or not as that will give us more sales. I enjoy roving and seeing different people. The most challenging aspects about this job is peoples attitude as I work with different people and different managers. Sometimes convincing a manager to do emergency orders is difficult.
Pros: seeing different people and learning from them
Cons: too much work involved

Working for the sake of needing a job
Unfair work ethics and make a lot of promises that are never fulfilled. Company always preachs and talk about growth but it is not there. Always to look for under experienced people to pay them a low wage but forgetting experience is the main required tool out the in the trade. Under experienced employees some times turn to produce a lower productivity and excellence
Pros: Don't have any pros to be honest
Cons: Lack of respect for employees

Excellent work ethic
It's a normal 8-5 job from Monday to Friday. I have great colleagues that I enjoy working with . Each of them has great personalities. I've learned alot from my company how to handle customer how to control yourself when you are in a bad situation. And how to solve your problems on your own. I enjoy meeting people every day and interact with different cultures. Is good to know that what you learn in life now a days is different when you speak to other people. No matter who they are or what race they are. In my line of work I get the privilege to meet all kinds of cultures. And that is very exciting. The challenging thing in my work is meeting difficult clients. But then I just breathe and smile and make like nothing is wrong and just stay calm and say thank you for your time.
Pros: You can achieve what you want and grow in the company
Cons: Dangerous areas
