Enjoyable Experience at Watsons

Part Time Customer Assistant (Former Employee) - Tampines - April 7, 2019

I've worked at Watsons' since December as a Part-Time Customer Assistant (Cashier) before being entering tertiary education. Graduates who have finished O Levels can consider to join Watsons' Personal Care Store as a cashier / customer assistant. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SHIFT TYPES Morning shifts would mostly start at 9am, and you have 1 hour to help out your colleagues to clear the incoming stock that arrived the night before. This might be a little boring to do depending on how big your store is. Afternoon shifts can be a little busy if you work at a Mall Outlet and depending on the promotion cycle that the company is currently holding. Shifts wise : 8 hour shifts would have a 1 hour break included. 5 hour shifts would not have a break. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MANAGEMENT Management Team in my store were very friendly and family feels. However, this would depend on what kind of people you would be working with. (Everyone is different) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EXPERIENCE The enjoyable part of the job being a cashier, is that you get to have the experience to interact with currency. Human interaction is also particularly important when there are customers that come by often. I have met a few regulars in my store and they appreciate the friendly service I offer. The hardest parts of the job are 1. Help your outlet to reach a certain quota. You have to try to push sales for the store -

Pros

Friendly Colleagues, Clean Environment & Manageable

Cons

Stocks, Unfriendly Customers (if you meet)

No workline balance at all

Management Associate (Former Employee) - Central Singapore - January 20, 2018

Unbais review after working at watsons. Management is good Salary considered alright but the problem is the hours. Can OT up to more than 10 hours a day and hard to take leave. The job requires you to service people the whole day so at the end of the day you will be drained and too tired. Rinse and repeat + not understanding customers will make you want to rage. Watsons need to take care of their people better if you want good results. More time off would be good especially for staff who are really working their best. Fall sick very often due to the unhealthy lifestyle and grow fat fast.

Pros

Good management

Cons

SUPER long hours
