Share knowledge
Customer is my day. I am the driving force behind ensuring that I can make a change in teh customers life, by implementing quick win that is beneficial to the customer but constantly ensuring that cost saving is part of the drive. Ensuring that quality is adhered to by the outsourced call centre and best practices are shared. Key initiatives, would be the introduction of a case management tool to ensure that the customer is never left behind and always the focus point of decisions. Being part of a energetic team and helping each other is key and knowing that no man is left behind. Challenges currently is red tape within the company that could extend a quick fix but would take 6 months due to governance measures.
Pros: Being exposed to retail is very exciting and drives you to always try harder and work better. Empowring and allowing staf f to make decisions with the least financial impact on teh company.
Cons: Stuck is old ways of thinking and still practicing old methods that are not beneficial to the company and more importantly the customer.

The learning has been great, but growth is limited.
The company is a great place to start to learn about the nature of Retail, while instilling high performance drive in employees. However, the lack of growth opportunities, and lack of incentives for staff sucks the passion out of employees.
Pros: Great pressure and work ethic developed.
Cons: Long hours with no overtime pay. No growth opportunities because of the restructures over the past few years.
