Great place to learn start up on retail industry
Retail associates (Former Employee) - Johor Bahru - 5 October 2022
It involves long working hours, standing a lot, but I’m actually having fun on displayed products, attended enquiry. Try not to involve in gossiping on workplace, try to set boundaries between personal and professionalism. Respect people’s lifestyle and focus more their performance to execute their roles.

Fun and teamwork
Supervisor (Former Employee) - Sunway Velocity - 4 October 2022
There are always flexible times for prayers and off day. I would recommend if you love a slow pace job. The job are not hard. It's just enough to fill your day.

Toxic workplace and racist management
Retail Supervisor (Former Employee) - Aeon Manjung - 24 June 2022
Toxic workplace with racist outlet head, minimize worker's benefit based on races. Deduction of salary during MCO period, work for more than 8hrs with no OT.

Great place to learn new things
cashier (Former Employee) - AEON Klebang Chemor - 16 December 2021
Great place to work and to learn the A-Z of retail/bookstore management. Colleagues are friendly and managers are helpful. Challenges are when facing with difficult customers and time management for stock handling. I work during pkp season so maybe the duty are not very heavy. The most enjoyable part of the job is that managers are very friendly, helpful, help you to learn from basics and taking a great care of you.
Pros
friendly manager
Cons
didn't get much benefit for part time worker

Fun workplace with great colleagues.
Cashier (Part Time) (Former Employee) - Petaling - 21 May 2021
I've learned how to engage with customers, how to use the computer at the cashier, how to deal with the cash and how to make online debit/credit payment. I've learned about cash float and how to do closing at your counter station every day. Other colleagues are very helpful with a very nice supervisor.

Work culture are ok but management not so good and not too professional
Retail Executive (Former Employee) - Penang - 19 May 2021
For beginner or fresh graduate to learn and get experience is ok but not for long term. The working hour i can say 70% work life 30%. For muslim I not recommend as their working hours make you quite difficult to go for pray especially on Friday. For me based on my experience their management from the HQ to outlets are not professional and not too good in handle staffs problem and customer problems. This become obvious when MCO when a lot seeing they take advantage from their staffs and nonsense rules and double standard.

Retail Executive
Retail Executive (Former Employee) - Kuala Lumpur - 9 September 2020
Very nightmare experience here. Interview as Retail Executive as shown in their ads. But after a days interview, they call me and inform that my position is 'Retail Trainee' which I need to go my probation until 6 month then my position will be change to Retail Executive. How can I have more than 1 year experience but my position is Retail Trainee? I also get paid with low salary and not worth with the taskngiven.Some friend already work more than 6 month but still become "Retail Trainee" position. The job scope for Retail Executive is just same like you are Retail Assistan. Thhink twice before you work here or you just waste your time to build your dream career here.
Pros
Can choose outlet
Cons
Long hour working, Job scope is not like other Retail Executive supposely should do, Too many cons to list
