Good experience, sales, merchandising, customer service

A typical work day would be cashing up, doing the banking or cleaning the shop then doing the customer orders. Packing the stock away and helping customers. My relationship with my coworkers is good I have worked with my manager and assistant for 3 years we have an excellent working relationship. I have learnt if you want people to keep coming you have to be friendly and know what your talking about.

Pros: Good coworkers, 50% discount on books, meeting new people
Cons: Long hours, no promotion opportunities

Good communication skills, hard working, determined,

My experience at my current workplace is thrilling as I get to work with different customers on a daily basis... I manage customer orders, assist customers around the store when in need of help, manage the store in the absence of my manager, operate POS - cash up, put money into the till, open store in the morning and close at knock off time. My workplace is my second home... I have a good relationship with my co-workers and customers, it has had it's roller coaster rides but we've managed to make it through. I have learned to do my work just the way I'd like for someone else to do it for me. To work thoroughly, honestly and with great dedication. I enjoy handling customer orders and following up on them aswell as helping customers around the store.

Pros: Great customer relations, handling customer orders
Cons: Long working hours

Fast and effective learner

I have an upstanding personality with great learning skills. I do consider other people and know how to lead a team. I know how to deal with criticism and correct my faults immediately. I know the importance of a work place and I stick to what needs to be done. I am a strick leader but I do listen to what the staff need as long as it is appropriate for the work place.

Pros: Experience in learning more
Cons: Long hours and being obedient

Great entry level job

A typical work day would be trying to get customers into the store. Merchandising shelves and brainstorming ideas on how to draw people. My co workers tend to be moody, and everyday is a new challenge with them. I have learnt a lot about sales, operating software, merchandise I have enjoyed interacting with people The most challenging aspect is knowing how to deal with co workers that are unstable

Pros: Great way to learn customer service
Cons: Long hours, no sitting, working holidays

Good

It's good company when you are still learning. But you can't invest in them. Staff is very friendly. Customers are sometimes mean to staff. So far I had great experience with them just hate long hours and being underpaid.

Pros: Great opportunity for learning
Cons: Long working hours

Learnt quite a lot but am looking for a bigger challenge that offers more

a Typical work day consists of doing house keeping before we open and then doing the tasks lined out to us. Completing our customer orders , helping clients , packing shelves and receiving stock. Me and my co- workers get along very well. I have learnt that a job on paper and what you really do differ greatly. I have learnt so much more than I could have dreamed. I enjoy doing displays and merchandising the most. Most challenging was dealing with a diverse client base that have ever evolving needs.

Pros: Great learning curve
Cons: Not enough room for growth
