Cashbuild

One thing I loved about the place was that it was home. I would come in sad from home, but as soon as I got to the door and they would see that I was not feeling well, they knew what to do to make me feel better. As colleagues, we had our own outburst whereby we would argue and fight. But we made sure that we would sort them out without having to complicate our work. We supported each other and if you had a pending matter to attend to, we would switch shifts so that you can attend to your matters. It was homely.

In the morning, we collect our till floats, count it and check if it is complete. Clean your workstation and prepare your coffee or tea for the morning (my manager preferred coffee made by me). I always came in 45 minutes before and would also stand in for our supervisor if she had to go somewhere.

The hardest part would be working overtime while having a new born baby. Sacrifices that we make as parents. Getting home while my daughter is sleeping.

The one thing I enjoyed about our job was being a family, the love we had towards each other and the trips we had on Mother's day as a store (cashbuild does not open on Mother's Day)

A typical day at Cashbuild is to complete Recons by uploading onto the accounting programme. process of supplier invoices as per the supplier statement. all invoices paid by month end in order to keep aging of accounts in check. All queries to be sorted out as and when they arise. Prepare the payments at month end and make sure the supplier is paid on time and to keep all invoice on current.


management encourages the staff t work smart and not hard. Encourages the staff to do even better than the last month and year.

the environment is an exciting and very active. staff enjoys team building every year.


the hardest part of the job is getting the supplier to pass credit when they also have a process to follow when to get the credit passed.


the most enjoyable part is the team buildings that we have every year for spring and year end functions.

Would walk in fairly early, run all my reports for the previous day: obsolete stock, stock on hand, etc.

Split up the floor staff members 30/70, 30% will maintain store standards, whilst the other 70% assist customers, nothing more frustrating than to wonder around in a store with nobody to assist. 

I would then start with my favorite part of the day, doing the ordering of stock, i would keep my stock on a 6 week stock level.

I learn new stuff every day, but the most important thing i learned, is that you don't want one customer buying for a R1000, but yet you want a thousand customers to buy for R1.

The hardest part of the day is to keep all the customers happy, unfortunately, its impossible.

As long as you keep you co-workers happy, then they will strive to do their best.

I would then close the day by doing cash up, whilst all the floor staff sweep the floors and get everything ready for the next day.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Serving customers quickly and efficiently  and in operating the forklift. Making sure of the store standard, doing all responsibilities in my ail, making I report every damaged stock plus also reporting out of stock products  in time so they can be ordered  earlier! 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Doing ready  for business complying with these rules requires and the company way of working  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Its very exciting and easy  to work  in ,with the people  who are good in working  with other people! 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It's where by the are no customers and the day is so derl and consuming

My day at Cashbuild starts of smoothly in the morning when I clock in at 07:00. Each day i am given a task to do, but firstly I need to check for Gabs in my aisle, and fill. Make sure my aisle is dust free. I learned to be active and to work with colleagues as a team. Our culture here is that we always put our customers first and give them quality products that is long lasting. The hardest part of the job we are doing is being able to work under pressure, filling gabs and dusting/wiping the aisle while we are dealing with more than a hundred customers everyday who demand a houndred percent of our time. But then through it all the most enjoyable part is the fact that we learn something new everyday. Helping customers is one of the best part .

I enjoyed working at cashbuild ,especial when we had to help customers with their shopping and helping then on making good dissensions on what to buy for their building problems and i have learned how to work under pressure and still be able to function on my level best ,the most hardest part off the job is when we have to lift heavy materials like cement and steel round bars .It also felt great working with my colleague i really learned a lot from them especial to be a good team player they also gave me the platform to be individual depended to make vital dissensions  ,also my manager was indeed a good person i took her as my sister. the reason i left the job was because i had to go to school .

A typical day as an End Controller at Cashbuild is busy with stock checks, cash reconciliation, and making sure all till reports balance before closing. I learned a lot about accuracy, attention to detail, and working under pressure during month-end. Management is straightforward and expects you to follow procedure, which keeps things fair. The workplace culture is team-focused, especially during stock take when everyone helps out. The hardest part is staying focused during long shifts and handling discrepancies without mistakes. The most enjoyable part is the satisfaction of closing the day with everything matching and knowing your work keeps the branch running smoothly.

In the mornings when there was little staff, I had to count my stock and assist the customers with shopping. During the day after the manager has seen th reports of the stock counts, we had to double check and inform the dm of the stock situation. after a third and final count the stock would either be investigated ( sometimes up to 1 in the morning ) or adjusted on the system to balance with stock on hand.
The job recuired alot of long hours with no overtime and alot of personal sacrifice.

The best parts was when i had to assist customers with quotes and some freedom the job provided.

Deadline driven. Pressurised working environment but a fun workplace. Most of the time in your position you work unsupervised as the type of job needed a level headed out of the box thinker and a productive worker. There are many opportunities for advancement and nothing stands in your way to achieve it. You are in charge of your destiny and development. All employees to complete a set of e-learning training to be competent, as well as hands on tutor led training.
