Skills offering

It's exhausting with long hours, often having to do things like supervising whilst not being paid for it. Other workers co operate others never do. I enjoy serving the customers and learning new skills and tricks in and about the new regulations. Challenges when you are not part of the favorites of the seniors and you don't get recommendations for upper positions

Pros: trainee manager promotion
Cons: long hours

Im learning more about to take the responsibilities

I'm the young guy but I'm learned more than my time I spent at pick n pay -.I learned how to take your responsibility to the stock -how the team spirit works to push the work accondingly. -without communication as a team the work doesn't go -we got the time to go and relax our mind like going playing soccer ball as a team or stuff member.which we build the communication and team spirit as we're a stuff :-the most challenge is as we know it December time more are coming in bulk but we have the shortage of storeroom/warehouse so I'm responsible to be take care of the stock and make sure all stock are in a good places.

Pros: im expecting for everything
Cons: long hours working

Good Job for self starters who needs to know how retail works

- typical working day start wit taking goods from the stores to be placed on shelves, bar-coding the shelves for accurate and relevant prices. - Mostly end of the month we have stock taking in the shop. - I have learned how to do stock taking, pricing and bar-cording. - I enjoy stock taking and helping customers particularly the elders. - I have to wake up as early as 3/;am in the morning to start working at 4:am, it ws very difficult for me as i was not used to the routine, however i got used to it, i also struggled at first with stock taking as i was nit familiar with it before.

Pros: Is a great way to start somehwere and keep motivating yourself to work harder to achieve your desired goals.
Cons: sometimes you do stand in in an emergency where you have plans, however is team work and a good trait to have.
