Firm but fair

I am strong willed, passionate about work . Some people may think I am too harsh as it so happens at my present job, hence colleagues tend not to agree with my choices when it comes to disciple, but the job has to be done and discipline enforced in any work place as this is one of the key elements to a successful business, I also believe that consistency among management is very important in any establishment. I enjoy dealing with different kinds of customers, especially difficult ones as I get alot of joy from changing a customers mood fro. Angry to very happy Ive also learnt that as one progresses it becomes very lonely at the top as the more discipline one implements the more colleagues don't share your vision as not everyone can be firm but fair and not everyone can be compassionate yet firm...

Pros: There is room for growth
Cons: Very little personal / family time

Career Growth

Working in Retail comes with a lot of challenges mainly because you face different caliber of customers everyday. You have to adapt to every customers personality and ensure that the service they are receiving is customer centric and at the greatest level. Regardless of the manner in which they address you. Greatest skill I have endured during my time, is to be good at people management. At the end of it all, I enjoy the human interactions I have on a daily basis, the assurance at the end of the day that I have positively impacted someone, simply by smiling. There are always challenges with co-workers, but it is the approach that ensures that what ever issue is currently obscuring us, is not manifested into a bigger issue that could've been dealt better. At the end of it all, we have on goal and one goal only, did we serve the with the optimum service that we could or not and how to we better ensure that their experience is different when they work into our doors again.

Pros: Customer orientation
Cons: Results orientation

Tough industry to work in

Not a lot to say about working at a spar. People are difficult and work enviroment is straining and not conducive to having any of your own ideas. Managers are bullies and employees are unskilled and not given training.

Pros: Tough
Cons: Long working hours
