Cape union mart is a family orientated company, You feel part of the family and the history when employed or representing the company on a daily basis.

Cape Union Mart is a great company and have grown so much since I have been there. As a company we still showing a profit while other companies are battling. Their core values are Trust, Innovation and passion and that is what makes the company work like a well oiled machine. It's been an experience that I won't easy forget. They also pay bonuses without even thinking twice about it and they just want to give money away by creating competitions so they can empower staff financially in these tough times.

Really a fun and funky place to work as you are not restricted to anything. A day at work is challenging as you have a daily target and the store does not cater for everyone. ( 18 - 40 ).
Being a manager at that store is to really think out of the box and to be pro-active in store and with customers.
Great days were when the store reaches targets.
Handling difficult customers.
Management always grooming staff.
Very friendly and easy to work with.
When the was a store surprise visit.
Incentives

Cape Union Mart is a family company that originated in 1922, and has remained family-run for more than 80 years.
Traditional family values are still present in this company, making it a cosy, comfortable place to work in.
Cape Union Mart's management team are dynamic, and influence the business positively.
My retail career started with Cape Union Mart, and succeeding in a company like theirs is not easy, but comes with the prestige and self-worth that the term manager should come with, however with the pride, passion and ownership they teach you, you always get your hands dirty, because that's the Cape Union Mart way.
Pros
Excellent culture and environment
Cons
Advancement can be slow
A typical day at work will start with bank reconciliation a good morning meeting discussing sales targets, targets achieved on the previous day and where we are currently against our monthly budget.
followed by either a team building and motivating exercise or a training session about new or existing products.

close of day.
Over and above all the skills i have learnt over the years
People skills,handling hard tasks and to work under pressure comes to mind.What i have mostly learned from working for this company is that hard work pays.you get what you put in.
Management is some of the best in the retail sector, really caring for staff and always wanting the best from them. The culture within the company is really positive and motivated.hard work gets noticed.
From H/O to sales consultants they are a great bunch of people.
The hardest part of the job, although not the worst would be working weekends and public holidays.
The most enjoyable is to have a truly happy and satisfied customer that ensures return business.
Pros
13th Check, overtime and incentives
Cons
working weekends and public holidays
Giving great customer service with well trained staff to achieve daily target and work goals, working with a team to achieve goals is the best.
Pros
days off
Cons
long hours
