Mr Price Careers in South Africa: The Inside Story

Mr Price is one of the biggest retail chains in South Africa, with its head office based in Johannesburg. They currently have more than 320 stores across the country, including flagship stores in all major cities and towns as well as an online store where you can order fashion items and have them delivered to your home or office (free of charge).

However, it wasn’t always like this. Mr Price used to be just one small store which was opened by Mr Fred Price in 1929 on the corner of Church Street and Rissik Street in downtown Johannesburg.

What is a typical day like?

In order to get a real understanding of what it’s like to work at Mr Price, let’s hear from Lorne? Bothma, Merchandise Supervisor at Mr Price Cape Town. She joined in 2011 as an Assistant Stock Controller but has since been promoted three times!

Let’s see what she has to say. "My job entails a lot of responsibility and I consider myself very lucky that I am trusted with so much."

What are the benefits?

According to Mr Price Group CEO Richard Murray, an incentive package is one of several ways that Mr Price Group uses to help differentiate itself from its competitors. We want our employees to enjoy their work and feel good about where they work, he says.

What happens during training?

At Mr Price, we take care of our employees; once you are in our training program we cover 100% of your matriculation fee and 50% of your tuition. You will be placed at a store near your home to ensure that you can travel from work to school easily.

While we do not pay for flights or accommodation during training, once you successfully complete training and graduate, we provide paid accommodation within close proximity to one of our stores while still on a probation period.

Mr Price Graduate Opportunities

We like to see the potential in people, even when they're just starting out, and so we recruit graduates into PERMANENT entry-level roles all year round.

We also firmly believe in the development of our graduates, and the idea of home-grown talent. As such, we have designed and packaged bespoke development programmes for a number of key functions in the business, for example, Merchandise Buying, Merchandise Planning, IT, and Store Management.

Each programme has been carefully constructed, using the full suite of internal and external courses on offer through our mrpAcademy. The programmes vary in length but generally cover the critical first 12-18 months of your time in the business.

Your development will follow a blended learning approach incorporating formal classroom courses, online courses and most importantly on-the-job training with assessments throughout.

So bring your passion, and a willingness to work hard and we will give you the tools you need to be successful in your newfound space!
