Edcon Reviews

 

I am a competitive young lady who is always up 4 a challenge

I enjoyed learning abou t different cultures that were within or outside our work environment , an open area for a young adult to be free and express your feelings also raise concerns. I have learnt to be independent and understand others by putting yourself in their shoes.the most challenging aspect of my job was for example pitching for money to a person who is still grieving their loved ones and more importantly the breadwinner

Pros: I do not enjoy working late shift hours
Cons: I enjoy open and diversity within the working area

Change

Planning and organising are skills that I have gained and perfected in my years with Edcon. Every day I experience a new undertaking with my business partners and curve balls are constantly thrown my way. So my role is always to keep HR strategy at the back of my mind and mange those curve balls in line with strategy. People are at the heart of what I do, so I find myself having a number of conversations with different employees at all levels. Career path, poor performance, talent risks and managing overall culture concerns are my day to day talks with employees and managers. I constantly engage with my Colleagues and Centre of Excellence teams to assist me in managing these conversations and relationships. All of the above I enjoy tremendously as I see the value the value I add to my business.

Pros: Good Learning opportunity
Cons: long working hours

I am a fast learner who appreciate any positive help from anyone

I am a patient person,I enjoy working with people.I am a highly motivated individual who appreciate any positive help from anyone.I do my best to benefit a company.my work experience has been good I don't argue alot especially with customers.Apologizing even when when I'm not wrong is my key to success.In a typical working day i make sure thst all my tasks are done yo avoid explanations and excuses.Working in retail I've learnt that you cannot allow the first customer to ruin your whole day because you still have a long day to deal with other customers.I enjoy talking and helping those who need my help.The most challenging issue was staying calm even when you not wrong but I over came that through the help of my employer

Pros: Being an asset to the company
Cons: arguments at work
