How to Apply
PEP has moved toward a more digital-first application process.
Online Portal: Apply via the
PEP Careers .Mobile/WhatsApp: PEP often uses WhatsApp recruitment bots or the JobJack platform for entry-level roles. Look for QR codes or posters in-store.
In-Store: While many stores refer you to the website, some local managers in smaller towns still accept physical CV drops—ensure you are dressed neatly and ask for the Store Manager.
Safety Warning: PEP Stores will never ask you to pay any money to apply for a job or for a "job uniform." If anyone asks for a fee, it is a scam.
