Although ACDC is a place where you learn many multiskilling attributes it's definitely not a stable environment to work in nor is it a place you'll retire in. You develop some very strong relationships with staff that supersede the workplace and you learn from some solid character forming situations. Salaries are fair but your way up salary vs secular life expectancy. The odds are not good but it's your call! Decisions made can change almost as quick as they are made and not communicated so a lot of time and effort is expended going in the wrong direction. A lot of time is lost dealing with the same issues over and over again. The company seems to get stuck on the small issues there by sacrificing the larger more important matters. It seems as if there is no clear strategy as new policies or direction changes happen almost daily so you never seem to go anywhere! I've seen many good people come into ACDC with fire in their eyes and hope. Eventually it's snuffed out as ACDC model is not one that is built on creativity, engagement or collaboration but one where you must do your job and nothing more as all you are at the end of the day is a means to an end! It is a pity as ACDC can be so much more than what it is, currently a supplier of electrical product but with no soul at its core! Add EQ to the mix and you'd have a formidable, unstoppable supplier of electrical products that I believe it can be. .

Really enjoyed working at ACDC. good work-life balance. Great mentorship from the branch manager. Would highly recommend the company. Learnt much of what i know today from ACDC.
This is indeed a huge company, that is dictated by a single individual cause what ever She says goes. dictatorship and nepotism at ac dc is worse. there is certainly no conducive working environment at all, it is only good at firing their employees with no concrete reasons if u believe in rights and growth as an employee then u are in a wrong place, as a supervisor u are given responsibility with no authority am saying this from experience, will provide further insight soon, this is a never nice & good company am telling u guys, never wish to get a job there.
We have many departments of which I've got a chance to work in some during my apprentice period, departments like Transformer, electronics and panel workshops
A good company to work at, salary is commission based and also incentives are run every month if you exceed your minimum monthly target which will add on to your salary. The only problem is that the basic salary is too low and also job security is a problem. You can get fired at any time

You choose what you will however be carful of not becoming that hamster on the wheel, expensing massive amounts of energy running aimlessly and yet, going nowhere.

Call Centre Agent (Current Employee) – Johannesburg, Gauteng – 30 January 2017
ACDC dynamics is a nice company to work for, the staff is very kind and friendly.I enjoy working here because it is a great environment and you get to learn something new every day. I have learnt a lot already, I do not have any electrical background and that makes the job a bit difficult but I am willing to learn as much as I can. I really enjoy the fact that it gives me great experience and I enjoy working with big customers.
warehouse assistant (Former Employee) – longmeadow,edenvale – 11 November 2016
Acdc is a productive company which makes millions of rands due to an active staff and employers satisfaction , we worked hard hard everyday to push the customers satisfaction cz every businesses customers come to make more money
ACDC IS A FUN PLACE TO WORK managers to cleaners respect each other like if they known each other for years its a fun and dymanic place to spend your day
This company is the worst company I have ever work for. They teat there employees like slaves and show no appreciation for the work you do. The pay isn't that great it only seems great cause of all the overtime you work late nights and weekends and yet you still get short paid as they never pay out your right overtime amount & you are forced to take there provident fund after your 3 month probation that's if they keep you after your 3 month contract/probation. Management are a bunch of idiots who have no respect for employees and forever shouting at employees, place is run like a prison! NO JOKE! Unsafe work conditions as ladders in stores are broken and forced to use them or you climb on the shelves where you can, none to little PPE issued.

Snr Graphic Designer and Group Leader (Former Employee) – Edenvale, GP – 29 August 2013
Wonderful company with some extraordinary people! Lovely environment and very professional. Only downfall is that there is minimal trust from employees in the company. I would go back to this company in a heart beat!
Pros
