A learning curve for multi tasking
At Ackermans as an employee you are given about six working departments every day .You work as a cashier,a shop assistant,a merchandiser,a packer and as a replenisher of a department and lastly as a cleaner because at the end of the day all the staff members should clean the store. I had a good working relationship with my co workers,and I've learned a lot from them too.I've learned to be a responsible person and work neatly and also learned to work as a team player.The most challenging aspects of my work was to handle difficult customers and to make sure that at the end they are happy customers.
Pros: Great opportunity for learning to multi task
Cons: Long working hours

Good working environment
It is a warm environment where I learnt a lot about my personality. I discovered my strengths and weaknesses. I have grown as a person and a professional in conduct and the way of thinking. I have developed good relations with my colleagues and often receive good advice from them. I enjoy the team challenges they often have, it brings people together and helps them know each other better. The challenge was the age gap, because there's often a clash of ideas between the young and the old generation.
Pros: Great environment to grow
Cons: Contract will expire

Retail is not for everyone so if u can't work with people retail is not u
Very good company to work for. The culture is wonderful. U have the.correct tool's and SOP to train the staff to be on the correct level, u want them to help u achieve budgets and targets u as a team need to achieve. I had meeting every morning before shop open with my staff to tell them our budgets and plans for the day. Every staff member I have a little notebook. So I'll.do a floor walk every evening and.write down what they need to do the next day. Then after morningtalk and opening of shop I'll go to staff again and see there notebook and tick off as they finish there taskings for the day. I work hand in hand with a different department everyday. So that I have one on one's with my staff aswel. With motivation and correct training u can achieve anything u want with ur staff
Pros: Always bonuses for great stockloss results and for achieveing budget
Cons: Long hours

To listen,learn,understand and to to inpower others
Before you need to start the day it's important to inform the staff on the business and try to motivate them to make sure u have your team focus. One thing I have learnt was every day is a challenge and that's because sometimes your planing does not get to be put in place due to staff being absent,last minute promotion or changes etc, but I try to get the planning in place by focusing on one thing at a time. I also get on very well with the staff, and that's by working as a team having fun and getting the job done but the most challenging thing for me was always trying to become the top store in our divisions and thanks to a great team we have made it on many occasions.
Pros: like new challeges
Cons: 8- 6pm

Good with an opportunity to improve.
Working in retail is challenging in a good way, you learn something new everyday. In my current position as a buyer's assistant, I'm an all rounder as i work closely with a product planer and product technologist. Working closely with my buying manager and assisting him with admin also helps my growth in my career as he is flexible, challenging and doesn't keep me limited to only doing somethings but exposes me to everything in the buying world.
Pros: The Culture
Cons: Limited opportunities for growth.

Good learning
Idoing everything on our own the management sometimes is cruel threatening to fire is. Always tilling that we won't group. That's the reason why am looking for a job. Emotionally abuse. The co-workers are good. I've learnt that life is difficult when u have responsibilities. I enjoy my work very much just that it has some up's and downs different issues that as an employee u have to deal with
Pros: Promoting stock
Cons: Long working hours
