It lacks a challenge.
It doesn't challenge me at all,if i were to stay i'd get comfortable and find myself in debt.it's actually good for someone who is still at school who doesnt have much responsibilies.
Pros: Guaranteed provident fund and a medical aid
Cons: Not equiping its staff to search for better opportunities or enable them by conducting trainings and short courses.

Customers service
At the retail customers service is the key, and working together as a team it makes a job easy and fun, I enjoyed working at the retail as I was meeting people everyday and I enjoyed working with people, giving customers the best we can, making our customer happy at all time and treating them with tha same dignity, and at a retail we always busy on weekend months end, even though we where small amount of staff, we always give our customers excellent service and it was fun as we work as team to reach company expectations, I believe good customer service is a key to a business success.
Pros: At TFG there's a room for promotion as I been promoted twice in a year period
Cons: 09:00-21:00

I am a fast learner
The job that I do include opening the store and closing store at night, doing admin during the day like filing the admin work also supervising the staff to do their work giving orders that's a work day at work. With my coworkers I have a open and honest relationship with them. I have learnt in the workplace you have to be honest at all times in your workplace,and also to respect those around you. The most I enjoy about my work is to get a challenge from a customer and buy resolving the customer complaints that a customer will give you. I had a challenge for a customer the other day the customer had send his coffee machine in for repairs and had to be back in a week's time so that didn't happend,so I had to phone my area manager to help me so at the end had to give him a new machine,so everyone was happy at the end.
Pros: I want a better work place
Cons: Do not want to work long hours

Good Learning Curve
The company has provided a great learning curve for me. Through patience and understanding, I have established good relationships with my colleagues, and that improves my typical work day and reduces a lot of unnecessary pressures. I have learned countless things on administration, Human Resource, Systems and interpersonal relationships. I train experienced people to effectively make use of the company's system, and correcting them isn't always easy since they have been using the same system for years. This system affects the general employee's salary, work hours and shift patterns. I'm always required to make good facilitation, making sure every individual understands the system.
Pros: Great opportunity for promotion
Cons: None

It was a great learning experience and confidence builder.
Working for TFG has been a great experience, it has unarguably built my business acumen apart from me studying a Bsc for 4 years. It has built my confidence, communication skills and being a team player who never gets tired to plant positive seeds within my peers to drive the whole team's work ethic forward. Our work environment was a sales atmosphere where we worked tirelessly to reach our daily targets, to ensure that we do meet the month's targets for incentive payouts and to also ensure our brand meets targets. It relies heavily on one to be motivated, energetic, enthusiastic and always look forward to making each day count. We did all this by ensuring that we also treat customers fairly and align ourselves to the company's fundamental pillars (PRIDE square) Professionalism, Resilience, Integrity, Discipline and Empowerment. These have molded me to become the fine gentleman i am today both inside and out of the company.
Pros: The working hours were convenient.
Cons: I have witness minimal promotion opportunities.
