A typical day is driving sales, by motivating my stuff to go out and do their best to achieve our daily target, something that we do as a whole. The most important thing to me is; to keep our customers happy by striving for excellent service, this include solving the queries they might have; as speedily as possible. Achiving our monthly targets brings most satisfaction, to know that we worked hard as a team. In retail I have learnt that relying on our strengths is highly important, because we contribute as a whole to our success. The most challenging aspect of my job is pushing for sales during the times of the month where there is a low customer feed to our store.
Pros: In cellular industry there is always something new to learn.
Cons: Indeed, long long hours, and under stuffed.

Growth and development opportunities
As a manager/executor at the store level, I do morning huddles where I communicate the financials of the store with the staff, I check that everyone is ready to serve the first customer by looking at the appearance, wearing correct uniform with name badge visible to customers. I ensure the cash float is issued correctly to cashiers and the store is ready to accept the first customer in terms of OHSA act. I check the hazard counts in high risk departments like cellular and branded items. I randomly test the product knowledge to ensure that they know what are they offering to customers including daily promotions.
Pros: Staff empowerment shares
Cons: Alarm callouts at night

Good learning experience
I work 5 to 8 hours a day 108 per months and I have good relationship with my co-workers. I have learned how important customer service is at our store and edcon always consider their customers more important than anything else. I enjoyed learning new things everyday and delivering a good service to customers. The most challenging thing I have learned is never argue with a customer.
Pros: excited opportunity
Cons: incompetent management, long working hours and no overtime payment
