I have been working for Spar for five years it's not a bad company, depending on the owner. The only problem is, they don't want to pay no matter how many hours you worked. No overtime for Management.

Very good money, always room for improvement, new opportunities and well adjusted rules to accommodate each individual. My only problems was the amount of hours you had to work. It's a busy store. Our branch in Zevenwacht had a great management team. We even had a pensioners discount day. Very good customer service.
Best companies to work for in the Retail sector.
