To be part of the biggest company all over the world it's an honour to work for, for the past years that ive been working in pep it's not so good as it seems, they said that the company is a wealthy company to work for but as I've seen it's not true ,in my area where am working our management it's not good we as the staff must work long hours and after hours but don't get overtime, we are working over weekends till late we can't even go out on weekends or spent time with our family and friends because we are always working and that's not right when we try to talk to our manager she doesn't listen to us we must ask for a day or so to just get sum rest how does the manager get more day's off but when we as staff just ask than we can't get a day to rest and how can PEP say they are a wealthy company when our salaries is not so good we must work very hard but doesn't even see what we are working for through the month,and how can the p27 do the permanents job but don't get rewarded for that they are doing the most work in the work place but they salaries is up 2, 500rand n week how does that work for all their hard work, I think it's pathetic

What is the best part of working at the company?
Staff is so friendly it's easy to communicate even the manager is super calm i enjoy working there .We help each other with duties everything is flowing good 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
On my side nothing is stressing because you get enough time to learn My manager give herself time to teach you I really enjoy every moment at PEP

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Our Culture is  Sikhula Kunye meaning we don't leave each other behind we help each other even if its a small information we share it and most of all is that we give customers warm welcome and assist them 😀 😊 ❤ 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Well I'm working as a cashier but also learning alot from back office and I give myself time to learn and also my manager is so so much helping she used to say the office is not mine it's ours as staff whenever you feel like you want to know something tell me I will open computers for you 😊

in as much as there are policies but there was always a room to grow,
 learn new ways each day to solve problems and perform tasks better as time goes by, 
managing by focusing on interpersonal dynamics , understanding others and yourself, let the policies govern you and lead by example.
hardest part of the job was having to discipline staff , you cannot control what emotional feedback you will get the challenge will be how well you handle it
always backing myself was always an exciting thing for me, that means study and be knowledgeable so that you know how to stand firm in you post there is nothing as exciting as having answers to most of the questions. and luckily for me I was afforded a chance to run the Regional CSI projects which on two consecutive years for the first time in our Region  I won them awards for

I have learned a lot of things about the reatail industry and i also got the chance to gain experience in most of the things that im taught in theory at school. my manager is a very friendly person always open to new ideas, likes people who think out of the  box also very strict when it comes to doing your job. my co workers are also very friendly like helpng where help is needed.

the hardest part of my job is when it comes to cashing up coz if the float is short you have to pay out of your own pocket, so there shouldnt be any problems when it comes to that, therefore you need to leave your problem at home when entering at work because there isn't rom for any mistakes. most enjoyable part of my job is helping customers choose what they want, that is when i get to use my customer skills and negotiate with the customers and sometimes seal a deal.

What is the best part of working at the company?

Every company has its hardship, at Pep we worked together to through those busy and stressful periods helping each other to maintain store standards. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The culture at is sikhula kunye meaning we grow together. Communication was a a big part of our team performance.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
As a cashier I was worked on till register, if and when it was not too busy that was the time I used to manage stock as I was also in charge of merchandising.

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. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
I'm not sure what to say about it because it was not good I was forced to quit so I don't know what can I say about the best part at it

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Thame stressful part is when we have a stock taker and pension payout those are the stressful day

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Must be  environment with healthy people I know people change but must be a place that gave you peace because you spent the rest of the day there

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Monday to Friday those are the days that I can do good ai Saturday and Sunday yeah but yeah

Working at pep gave me lot of experience on how to work in a different environment usual working with people and also then experience on how to treat other people at work.

As the result I regard my self as a better person in term of communicating and interacting with others.
I also gain some different skills as well on how to become a good problem resolver, the management was also in good hands as well.I never had the most hardest part of the job because I am always awear of anything......The most enjoyable part of the job is to see the work being well done and the management being happy all the time as well as other employees

what i learned at pep is that customer is always a very important person,were he/she needs attention,focus,fast and effective service,smile.The management was good managining us with a good and professional manner simple ethics,polite.My co-workers were like my biological brothers and sisters we were living like a big and strong  family.The hardest part of job was when we are nearing stock takes you will find that everything is too much,we were recieving oftenly without syopping.The most enjoyable part was when it comes to 15th and 31st of each and every month,customers were flooding into the store i even learned SHONA language it was like wow.

ITS FUN TO WORK WITH MY TEAM,I HAVE LEARNED A CULTURE OF BEING HONEST PASSIONATE AND BEING RESOURCEFUL AND EVERYWHERE YOU GO YOU GET THE HI 5 WHICH IS A BIG PART OF THE CULTURE,YOU GET ALL THE SUPPORT U NEED FROM MANAGEMENT,MY TEAM MATES ARE GREAT AND SHOW RESPECT TO LEADERSHIP,DEALING WITH OLDER STAFF THAT HAS BEEN THERE FOR LONGER THAN YOU IT DOES GET TO ME SOMETIMES WHEN SOME OF THEM GIVE ME ATTITUDE BUT HAVE LEARNED TO DEAL WITH IT IN MY OWN WAY,BEING GIVEN A CHANCE TO SHOW UR LEADERSHIP ABILITIES AND GETTING SUPPORT IF YOU FAIL AT SOMETHING THATS WHAT I ENJOYED MOSTLY.
