Solid and proper retail organization. Leader in fashion and international Brands.
Dynamic, fast moving and leader is fashion retail. Days are always different as a buyer you are being guided by the sales trends and what is happening in the market place. Relationships are key as our roles and responsibilities are inter linked as buyers and planners, assistants and general managers, marketing and operations. Have learnt that the most fundamental thing in an organization is communication,, process management, stakeholder management and most importantly, its ALWAYS about the customer. Range building process, traveling abroad to view fashion trends and developing these tends into SA market. The rand/dollar exchange has been the most challenging factor, as importers.
Pros: Greg exposure in predicting sales trends, good market analysis of consumer behavior.
Cons: Can be stressful due to fast moving pace of business.

Excellent working condition
working for Edcon has taught me a lot, from working with clients and handling customers grievances on a daily basis. Edcon is a very big company so new project comes in everyday and finance department is always affected as a results learning in this department knows no end., what i love most about my team and manager is that though the work load gets hectic at times, we always find a way together to tackle all the issues. Edcon as a whole tries its level best to put its employee first, we have sample sales every first Friday after month end,we a stuff discount in our store, we also have two bonuses every year as well as the share divided twice a year
Pros: Great learning enviroment

Good learning curve
Dress code is chilled, out there and allowed seeing as it's the fashion industry. I like interacting with different people everyday . Solving a problem gives me a sense of fulfillment. Co workers are helpful, fun people and young. I've learnt the different and important principles of the buying discipline. Most difficult aspect of the job is working with people who don't think out of the box, rigid and not open to new methods.
Pros: Great Learning Curve
Cons: Low paid salaries

Challenging
Does not promote staff for hard work. Would rather bring someone inexperienced from outside and get that employee they won't promote to train the new colleague. Matters are resolved with dismissal. No job security. Colour of the skin works more than experience or qualifications. Long hours no pay. Salary is not fair. You work hard for a salary you can barely go on.
Pros: Bonus stucture
Cons: Long hours
