Edcon Pay & Benefits reviews: Debt Collector

It's a good company to work for, has stability and security, salary not too bad but based on how you meet your monthly targets. Managers are bad though, they think they own the company.

Free lunches

Its not a fun place to work

Debt Collector (Current Employee) - Durban, ZN - 7 April 2014

Working here has been an experience I would not forget. Edcon has given me a start into the working world. Each day comes with a lot of stress and responsibility. It is target driven and with targets we not motivated to do well. The people are good to work around and some very motivating. The hardest part of the job is maintaining targets which we have no control over yet we are expected to ensure targets are met. The most enjoyable part of my job is my team. They motivate you to do well and are the when you need to be pushed a little .

Pros

The benefits of the edgars account

Cons

they really do not look after their staff interest.

The hardest part of this job was to get hold of our clients, but when you do get hold of them that's the best...
