Working as a StockTaker For Retail & Asset Solutions RAS (Formerly Known As OCS) | Life Stories 006
So whats a shift like with Retail Asset Solutions?
It depends. management is where it’s a letdown and the inconsistency of shifts. for example one day I could start a shift at 4 am finish at 12 pm and be on another shift that same day for 8 pm. and this was a common occurrence. breaks were under the discretion of the team leader and shifts could go over 12 hours on a frequent base.
Whats Progression Like For Retail Asset Solutions?
Very small chance of progression. I had seen counters of over 15 years experience never being given an opportunity as they were too good of a counter… also if you don’t drive or can’t attend shifts on your own forget about it…
