Pep is the best company to work...
Supervisor (Current Employee) - Lydenburg mpumalanga - 16 November 2022
Pep offers the best working experience and takes care of its employees. It treats everyone with dignity and respect and has the incentives to offer, however favouritism is alive. You give your best shot growing the company but it will take you forever to grow in the company

Stressful
Sales Assistant (Former Employee) - Springs, Gauteng - 13 July 2022
Too much work, not enough money. No growth, you work as a p27 for years and years. Management has favorites and they scheduled you wherever they felt like it.

Good culture but little growth opportunities

Working at the company was fun, there was no pressure felt, relaxed environment but there aren't enough growth opportunities in some departments and there is a lack in diversity when it comes to managerial roles.
Pros
Free goodies & Free Udemy courses for employees
Cons
Little growth opportunities

Collaborative and fun place to work
Talent Management Coordinator (Former Employee) - Cape Town, Western Cape - 21 November 2021
PEP is a very collaborative and great place to work. The organisation takes its culture very seriously and genuinely cares about its people. If you're looking for work life balance and consistency then PEP is your place to work. Though the salaries aren't great the bonus structure is very competitive.
Pros
Flaxible work hours - great work life balance
Cons
Low salaries

Small salary, no benefits

fun
Cashier (Former Employee) - Machadodorp, Mpumalanga - 25 November 2020
at Pep a day i will have a different task to do. maybe i will be doing a sock packing the whole day. the next day i will be doing a stock taking. then at the till when it busy because i was fast with helping customer since computer is my thing. i would also take calls for the manager. what i learn at Pep is that you have to be patience and always put a smile when serving a customer. and learn working with different people. and learn using computer for different thing except using Ms word. the work culture was that we had a very target profit that we have to meet, so by doing that we had to come with different strategy to make make come and buy at pep. but the hardest thing was that sometimes you had to do maybe three jobs at the same time. i enjoyed the job when it come to working at the till and get to learn different languages.
Pros
gift
Cons
overtimes
