A good place to build character, but it still has racist tendencies
Sales Assistant (Former Employee) - Pretoria, Gauteng - 26 January 2022
Arrive on time, finger print sign in, put your tag on, if manager doesn't have ready task for you, attend any available customers, else, fix merchandise and or fill in empty store position. Half way through the day, take one hour break, before day ends, you take on cleaning task, such as sweeping, mopping or dusting, finger print sign out and lock up. Skills Learned: Sales and communication: My sale experience has taught me that, customers have to be and feel heard before they will listen to what I have to say. Customers are likely to return if they feel helped and appreciated. Stock management: I’m familiar with the stock counting process and I have experienced what is like to lose stock to theft. Both from with in and without. Punctual: I have lost a job for being late before. I also know what its like to loose opportunities because of lack of punctuality. Communication: My sales experience have taught me that the mouth and the ears go hand in had, this has made me dependable and responsible. Management changes, every once in a while, some management, will be awesome, and some management will be unbearable. workplace culture, is not so great, often depends on management. Hardest part of job for me, was making sales, on days I wasn't having a good day. otherwise, job is relatively easy. Most enjoyable part of job is connection you build over time.
Pros
Up to 65% store discounts for employees
Cons
poor and often negative, gossip culture.

Cape union mart has incredible service standards
Sales assistant (Former Employee) - Pretoria, GP - 12 November 2015
The store culture of cape union mart is very family oriented, thus the managers encourage a strong professional bond between staff and build great team work ethics. the training resource and methodology gave me the capacity to render great service and the skills to pave my own career path. The slightly hard part of the job is that i had to grow my product knowledge on a daily basis, i cannot afford to relax or slack because it is a competitive environment and i have to give my complete best at all times. the most enjoyable part of the job is earning a customer's trust and building a lasting customer relationship and career reputation.
Pros
Training, Benefits and Culture
Cons
Huge company, it is not easy to advance into higher vacancies.
