The Foschini Group Reviews

 

Fast paced environment

My sales environment is fast paced and requires focus and energy. My department is also target driven we work with numbers. I work towards a daily target for a certain amount of sales for the company benefit. Mostly I'm in my work station, speaking on the phone and doing data capturing.Those are my daily tasks. I have learn to pay attention details and have learn sales techniques in order for me to reach my targets. I enjoy working in a team and I have learn how to adjust in a diverse environment.I have a good relationship with my current team of 6. The most difficult aspect of the job is meeting the daily targets because we work with a different database and files.some days are slow for production.

Pros: good opportunity for communication and listening skills
Cons: Requires focus and energy

Great learning experience

I have been working for the Foschini Group for just over a year now. TFG's culture is really amazing; most people are friendly and warm. I have a good relationship with my manager, and co-workers, and I have learnt how to deal with difficult situations and confrontations. My duties and responsibilities have certainly grown over the past few months. I am now more involved in decision making and am working on a project that requires a lot of my knowledge. The most challenging aspect of my job is that I work in isolation. Not many people have knowledge in risk management and it gets difficult when I need advise or need to bounce ideas off people.

Pros: Opportunity to gain experience in risk management
Cons: Working in isolation

I am a fast learner

The job that I do include opening the store and closing store at night, doing admin during the day like filing the admin work also supervising the staff to do their work giving orders that's a work day at work. With my coworkers I have a open and honest relationship with them. I have learnt in the workplace you have to be honest at all times in your workplace,and also to respect those around you. The most I enjoy about my work is to get a challenge from a customer and buy resolving the customer complaints that a customer will give you. I had a challenge for a customer the other day the customer had send his coffee machine in for repairs and had to be back in a week's time so that didn't happend,so I had to phone my area manager to help me so at the end had to give him a new machine,so everyone was happy at the end.

Pros: I want a better work place
Cons: Do not want to work long hours

Good Learning Curve

The company has provided a great learning curve for me. Through patience and understanding, I have established good relationships with my colleagues, and that improves my typical work day and reduces a lot of unnecessary pressures. I have learned countless things on administration, Human Resource, Systems and interpersonal relationships. I train experienced people to effectively make use of the company's system, and correcting them isn't always easy since they have been using the same system for years. This system affects the general employee's salary, work hours and shift patterns. I'm always required to make good facilitation, making sure every individual understands the system.

Pros: Great opportunity for promotion
Cons: None

It was a great learning experience and confidence builder.

Working for TFG has been a great experience, it has unarguably built my business acumen apart from me studying a Bsc for 4 years. It has built my confidence, communication skills and being a team player who never gets tired to plant positive seeds within my peers to drive the whole team's work ethic forward. Our work environment was a sales atmosphere where we worked tirelessly to reach our daily targets, to ensure that we do meet the month's targets for incentive payouts and to also ensure our brand meets targets. It relies heavily on one to be motivated, energetic, enthusiastic and always look forward to making each day count. We did all this by ensuring that we also treat customers fairly and align ourselves to the company's fundamental pillars (PRIDE square) Professionalism, Resilience, Integrity, Discipline and Empowerment. These have molded me to become the fine gentleman i am today both inside and out of the company.

Pros: The working hours were convenient.
Cons: I have witness minimal promotion opportunities.
