I have learnt a lot in this company
Tha company has been good to me . Ast the staff members we always get training every six months. My manager is always holding meeting with staff every Monday to check if the work is done the right way, and also to listen to the problems we are facing, or how to grow the business.
Pros: So many opportunities.
Cons: Working hours are normal

Hard work, walking the extra mile. From temp to Manager, relieve regional manager.
Staff meeting, cleaning shop, display, price cards, create cash & credit deals. Scanning deals to head office for approval. Cash up banking, recon with bank statements. Planning promotions. Managers chek list daily. Action plans to improve sales monthly. Profit and lost recon. Work with staff, not just give instructions. Loading customer items. I'm only as strong as my team. Good reationship. Leading by example, Derve respect, can not force that. Praize good results. Hard work and efford, improve yourself, as well as the business. What you put in, you will get out. You are only as strong as your staff is making you. Team work is very important. Listern first then react. Most enjoyable is to achieve budget. Happy customers and staff, give good results. Most challenging, with retrenchment of staff, less staff to get same load of work, and still keep boss happy is not an easy job.
Pros: Not much at this stage, I got an income
Cons: Less staff to do more work. By achieving budget, is still not enough for boss. Draining all staff till the limit, even more. Were always proud to work for a company, lots has been changed.

My experience in working at Russells for 8 9years
I m a self motivated person who plans his day and make sure at the end of the day whatever was planned have been achieved. Im a hard worker and I get along well with poeple. I take instruction from my boss very seriously. Over the years I ve working at russels I've learnt skills that I can use successfully wherever I go. Russels went through a restructuring process where we lost a couple of our team players. The whole team that was left struggled we were forced to be multi skilled.
Pros: The structure of the company was flat and opportunities was available at lower job categories. Since was a manager the next level on top was the area manager and in our region there was only 2 of those positions overlooking 20 stores.
Cons: Retails in most instances is long working hour. That have made me strong I can handle any working hours as long as I will be rewarded. I have also worked under a lot of pressure and I have handled it very well.

Learning Curve
Pressure of day to day selling goods to customers , I have good relationship with wherein when I am not in store they proceed with my sales using my number trust isn't an issue from top to button. I have learnt that communication is key and it is important to work in a team and to always have goals. Most challenging thing about the job is dealing with arrogant customers but patience is key coming to that.
Pros: Working Space Is Not Limited
Cons: Working On Sundays
