Cashier/Sales Assistant (Former Employee) – Pretoria, Gauteng – 1 July 2018
Salaries are lower than the market norm, some departments have a relatively flat organogram which makes promotion to a higher position difficult if the incumbent has no plans to leave. Too much bureacratic red tape involved to approve and clear budget for opex/capex spend on projects. Heavy focus on cost cutting = short term gains, but defers problems that will manifest in the long term and require greater funds and …
Pros
well constructed
Cons
no employee compassion
Great environment to work under

Manger (Current Employee) – Johannesburg, Gauteng – 16 February 2018
This company is fraught with politics and career enhancement is subject to who to know and and how much morals you ate willing to sacrifice.
This business does not care about its people and at times, more often than not will discard of you like receipt from shoprite. They have no shame and everyone wants to leave. The political landscape is demoralizing. You are hired to do as you are told and your opinion does not matter.
Salaries are below benchmarks and they use their maeket position ro impose that on you. Dis chem is a much better option. Race also determines salaries.
People with their own personal agendas will hang you out to dry if and when it suits them.

Relieve store manager (Current Employee) – Fish Hoek, Western Cape – 1 February 2018
Typical day at work would consist of staff coaching, spending time with individuals.
Learning is ongoing while managing people.
Management could work towards being one sound, and one mind in order to assist individuals who struggles with self development and identify own shortfalls requiring coaching.
Maintaining a work place culture should be every team members responsibility and not just the manager. This is possible through consistent IR processes followed fairly and needs identified from individuals taken seriously and passionately.
The hardest part of managing is not being respected by top management. Potential not recognised and efforts not valued. Lack of trust being final.
The best part is planning together, executing together and reaping success together as a team.

Salesperson (Former Employee) – Durban, KwaZulu-Natal – 13 November 2017
A typical day at work consisted of various social interactions with people from all backgrounds. I learned that everyone has something that they are passionate about and with hard work it is possible to achieve it. There was equal distribution of tasks and equity across all fronts. The most difficult part of the job was stocktaking, however it was also the most enjoyable as it taught me how to categorize things efficiently, and also taught me patience.
Pros
Staff Discounts
Cons
Long Hours
Nice workplace.
