Good learning environment
High pressure environment, adding stores with implementation and achievement of HR goals and objectives. Work closely with store management, ER, CoE and senior management in achievement of company goals. I have learned a lot about retail operations, such as implementation of promotions, importance of sap system in managing staff, ordering of store goods, and impact of customer service on success of any store. I enjoy with interacting with the multidisciplinary team in retail during new store openings and understanding the role each member of the team plays in ensuring a successful store opening.. The most challenging aspect of the job is maintaining a healthy work life balance. Retail requires long hours and working under pressure.
Pros: Opportunities for promotion into senior management are few as the structure gets flat, the higher you go
Cons: Long working hours, in a high pressure environment

Excellent learning curve
I like working as team, merchandising, discussing turnover and competing amongst each other turnover per section range, working with them helps me to know them better like showing them how to relay what where it's a challenging job you need to do all alone satisfy customers, your leaders explaining why you didn't make turnover daily, large rage of stock and make sure every stock at the warehouse is at the floor. Managing everything exception reports admin deal with suppliers it's a lot of things.
Pros: I need to see myself getting promote and learn more
Cons: Retail needs bodies it's not a problem when the company needs me I will be there

Enlargement of individual capacity
Pick n Pay is a great place to work and to get experience because I was exposed to different levels food technology. From R&D to quality assurance & control from manufacturing to plate. What challeng me the most was R&D because I get to come up with new products that are of quality and ensure cost control, ensuring a balance between the 2 can be a challenge. The community of Pick n Pay is more of a family and there is always something to learn from co-workers.
Pros: Great place to learn
Cons: No room for promotion
