Pros

- Ample parking availability, which makes it convenient to come to the office everyday, with no needed for flexibility. - Admire the company's commitment to strong family values, although a few individuals who may hold positions of authority based on familial connections rather than merit. Nonetheless, the company culture remains strong and dedicated to excellence.

Cons

- Toxic team manager. Once resignation handed, I was threat by the National retail manager, quoted "you better do well and finish your projects before you go. Otherwise, I will call your new company, and I have friends there" with throat cutting gesture. - Below market salary (2 offers received with 50% salary jump) - Little career development

Pros

- Retail/supermarket worker's standard wages - Managers sometimes listen to their employees - Management will inform you if your customers leave positive reviews. They don't hesitate to compliment their employees.

Cons

- Ineffective communication by upper management and failure to listen to clients. - No real training is being provided. You learn everything by asking. - High turnover - KPI not achievable. Both stores and employees must achieve targets at the same time to get very little commission. Lack of 1 will result in no commission. - The roster only pays you until 16:30, but you often finish later without being paid. Make sure you check your payslip every time because they may miss counting hours or extra breaks.
