Give opportunity to work or gain experience in different department.
Working for the current company is good because you an opportunity to work in various department. All the employees have a good relationship towards their co workers. Working with this company taught me how to handle different customers, maintaining a good and a friendly service at all times putting a customers as a first priority. Making sure that customers are happy at all times. Most challenges is the treatment as casual workers we treated differently as permanent staff to them we don't exist our views ain't taken seriously. You spend years being a casual
Pros: Only if you have a good relationship with the manager
Cons: Only in busy days we knock off 30 minutes after

Its a good company to start from as it has a variety of tasks and skills
on a typical day i deal with a lot of complaints some are very difficult but interesting to work on ,difficult customers who want things done their own way have taught me to have good communication in providing them with the right procedure using a professional and reserved tone,I enjoy working with my team because we get along so well and are able to help one another when needed. the most thing i enjoy coming to work for is you never know what to expect as the queries always vary and are different everyday that gets me excited,The most challenging aspect of my job is the hours at times and queries that are not resolved on time get me frustrated . I like my work in order and delivered on time as expected of me and beyond,
Pros: great learning curve
Cons: salary is not enough for the load provided

A person gets to interact with different people of different cultures
One of the chalenges of working retail is,of course, the unhappy customer. In any role entailing “customer service,” you’ll find yourself regularly dealing with dissatisfied individuals, for any number of reasons. Retail etiquette requires your pleasant demeanour to remain unshaken even by the most unruly of clientele, and this can be one of the most difficult, but also most valuable, skills you’ll acquire. But never fear; even the most disgruntled customer can be appeased, and often the solution is more easily arrived at than you’d expect. The important thing to remember is to stay calm, listen carefully to the customer, and take nothing personally.
Pros: Great opportunity to learn n grow experience
Cons: Long working hours
