Pick n Pay Retailers Reviews

 

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

Manage a team of 8to 10 staff. Responsible for stock take. GP. Waste control . Discipline staff.

The company put butcher managers in a box. We do not have authority to decide what our customers need. We are not allowed to order our meat direct from the supplier.

Pros: Promotion to Team Leader
Cons: Working for a local store is not good. We get treated different from the corporate stores. Do not get the perks and the salaries that the corporate mangers get

Retail Giant

The company is too large and talent is not recognised. They should focus more on internal development. People who work at stores very seldom get opportunities at head office.

Pros: Stable working environment
Cons: Little growth

Excellent learning curve

I am a true leader whose got leadership skills, my company I'm working with always teach us about the importance of case handling, even handling a difficult customer. Retail taught me many things especially to be polite and think before you do. Team work is important, following company policy is very much important, health and safety is important at work place.

Pros: I need to see myself getting promoted and learn more
Cons: Retail needs bodies it's not a problem when the company needs me I will be there
