At PEP, qualifications matter less than attitude. The minimum requirement is a Grade 12 (Matric) certificate, but what truly counts is your willingness to learn, your reliability, and your positive attitude. PEP is known for giving young South Africans their first opportunity in the workplace, providing practical training and mentorship to help employees grow. Successful applicants should have strong communication skills, enjoy working with people, and be able to handle retail responsibilities such as stock control, till operations, and customer service.

Employees enjoy a warm, inclusive, and supportive workplace culture where teamwork and accountability are valued.
