great to work but red tape & bureaucracy become a nightmare

Indeed Featured review

The most useful review selected by Indeed
In the beginning there a was a true passion and loyalty to work for the brand value. Benefits were cut, I learned to work in a team, management were difficult to approach.Culture of the brand values became difficult to adhere to. Trying to convince management the decisions made was in the best interest of the company.The customers deliverables met in all aspects.

Pros

subsidised lunches, company car and fuel

Cons

Micro management from lower management level. Not taking workers grievances into consideration

Competitive Environment

Working in store level is demanding and competitive. Poor work life balance due to retail trading hours. More than 90% of the stores are now franchise resulting in poor salary and commission structure.

Exciting and proud to have worked there. Would love to work there again.

Office atmosphere and Company culture are fantastic.There is no discrimination, so cultural Diversity is very well structured. Bad days allow for character building, and help is always available.Management teams are very much really interested and invested in the staff. Love the constant Innovation and improvements, and including staff in all developments and news and status of the company at all times. Good days to me are especially when the company has reached certain goals, or successfully released and jntroduced new innovations.

Pros

Phone, canteen, more relaxed culture, as long as the work is done.

Cons

Not a lot of promotion opportunities

Qualifications vs boring routine work

Tertiary qualifications of employees not taken seriously. You have to be closer to management in order to be promoted. It's not what you are capable of, it is about who you know.

Fast paced. Target driven

You have to be a permanant employee in order to reap the benefits. Best company I have worked for, the company really looks after they employees. Bad Management and favoritism is the only downfall. Very stressful to meet targets and kpi, but hard work pays off.
