There is lot of courses being offers to management and staff to develop themselves
Working with different customers everyday it builds you as a person to become a better communicator ,good decision making and problem solving It improves ones self esteem Working with staff and colleague's you learn more about difficulties in other families and how to help them and it builds a good relationship between me,colleagues and my team. It also help one to grow and adapt quickly with new changes It enables you to be able to face challenges As a mentor there is times when you have to train a manager who came from a different industry and the person not willing to change from a different environment Sometimes you came across an employee who is not performing due to family problems as u have to help the individual instead of dismissing the person
Pros: Lots of training in progress
Cons: Night shift works,public holiday and long weekends hours,no time for family

In this company, most people came having nothing in their mind about retail
Daily basis, we always came early due to day by day morning talk, for us and the manager to give ideas about the target we have to meet for the company, to motivate and to ensure that everyone know what to do, when to do that and how to do it We like to be a team, because working together can lead us doing more and get more easy to meet our target given. I learned to operate a till, merchandising, replenishing, respect, integrity, performance and courage. I mostly enjoy working on a till, as it getting familiar to me. At the till point it is where the customer and the employee meet and give what is needed. The company get money, and the customers get what they need/want. What's challenging is a customer who is unhappy, mind you, there are those customers who demand attention.
Pros: Most of the time, I can say this this company is the one who give people more opportunities in promotions and growth. It open a lot of stores for the perporse of giving job to people.
Cons: yes we considering time management, but we got ourselves working more hours and the company is not paying for that.

Excellent company to work for
A day at Ackermans had its pros and cons , but with the good culture and atmosphere you would rise to the occasion and still give your 100%. I had 32years working experience at Ackermans and miss all the inter action with head office staff as well as the staff in store that you only knew by name. Personally in my field of work, everyday came with its own challenges and my saying was....if there ain't no challenges there would be no job.
Pros: Great employee benefits
Cons: N/A

Excellent exposure to various job functions
I , Hooijaam Abrahams enjoyed working at my previous employer. A typical working day was not always good but one has to stay positive and I always try and turn the negative situations into positives. I had a fantastic working relationship with the entire staff complement internal as well as in our stores. I have learnt that with a can do attitude one achieves more. I personally believe in always giving my very best and stay motivated. Personally my challenging part of my job was not the job, but to let my co workers also become as positive.
Pros: Great company values
Cons: No opportunity for promotion

Great development
Monday I assess what product is late into DC and feedback to management. Excellent and bad performing product is assessed and communicated to management. On a weekly I contact local and import suppliers on marketing samples they need to submit before deadline. Internally I check and approve that the marketing samples information is correct including DC date, pricing, product info with marketing specialist and relevant team members. Marketing samples is prepared for range review by management. Weekly competitive analysis. range building and review with directors. Future product strategies developed. Negotiate with suppliers for best prices weekly. prepare margin doc for you management. The most challenging part of the job was using old systems. I've learnt to negotiate effectively and this has become my favourite part on the job. Daily I assess the fit quality of product and communicate to suppliers.
Pros: Great for development
Cons: I didn't take full ownership of product
