Productive and fun workplace and teamwork.
Sales Consultant (Former Employee) - Woodlands, Gauteng - 10 February 2020
I learned capturing of Client information onto All service Providers if need be and into Apple Database, selling of Apple products according to clients needs and setting up of devices and new Lines and Upgrading Contracts. There's excellent team work and everyone looks out for each other. Management has good leadership skills and they also listen to your concerns.

Work is work. No messing around like it should be in a work place
Field Team Leader of the Field Marketing Team (Current Employee) - Sandton, Gauteng - 6 March 2019
I just felt I was not a good fit due to 1 specific person I report to as he is set in his ways and is not willing to listen to new ideas or suggestions. Had no leadership from this person and up skilling takes place to assist me in bettering myself or carreer.
Pros
Free lunch
Cons
Not flexible

Standard
Cellular Consultant (Former Employee) - Sandton, Johannesburg - 16 January 2017
Standard workplace, free lunch was provided daily which was a plus. High pressure environment due to the nature of the product being distributed. Overall, not a bad place to work

Fun exciting products, tough organisation
Manager (Former Employee) - Johannesburg, Gauteng - 22 December 2016
Exciting products and environment, if you are willing to put up with excessive, somewhat unreasonable demands, while job security is not great. Level of organisation, training and structure also much lower than what you would get in a big company. Hierarchy such that employees are not clear on what or how many jobs they are filling. Good for those liking more of a 'cowboy' culture.
Pros
Exciting products
Cons
Disorganisation, lack of training and HR skills, high demands
