Best learning opportunity

I have learned to be an effective communicator as I was placed in a client facing role, where I was dealing with many various prospective clients. I have gained the best experienced on handling difficult and annoyed customers. I enjoy resolving problems and investigating client problems, complaints and challenges and coming up with a relevant solution. I enjoy rebuilding the trust clients may have lost due to poor services or problems that were not resolved by previous bankers. I like taking client's problems and making valuable resolutions. I like mostly when it comes to feedback client, I was moved to hear what they would say about me and my services so I have always enjoyed feedback times by clients. I have also learned to be more influential and my relationship with other coworkers had always blossoms, I normally take our differences and see it as an opportunity to learn and not as something to fight.

Pros: Great space for growth
Cons: System failers

Excellent learning experience, for growth.

My typical day at work is sometimes a very tenuous one and I'm trying to fit in everything that changes during the day, but overall I love what I'm doing, I'm a peoples person, My work colleagues are the best, they are very extraordinary, funny, intellectual, they make your no matter how the situation are we always strive to be the best and to best of our abilities. What it makes great is the team yoyour your worth end even if they do there's no recognition, it's like they know what you capable of, but still they keeping you there so they there won't be problems when they need to train someone else for that position. Thank you Regards R Samaai The challenge is they don't see youu working with and how you drive ourselves to always do our best together and individually.

Pros: Sales, my weakest point.

Excellent learning experience

Not pleasant, no protection from management and work is always put before one's family and life. What I enjoy most is being around my colleagues who provide support and motivation to keep one going. I've learnt to manage risk in the best way possible through internal governance processes and those of the Reserve Bank.

Pros: Good work experience.
Cons: No proper management.

Daily Challenged

Discussing sales figures with entire management group early morning, plan strategy for a day, prioritise about all other areas that didn't work well previous week on all service departments. Discuss daily security challenges, freshness Hygiene cleanliness as well as staffing and training. Customer service is also main priority as if that is not number one successful in our business will jeorpadise more feet in our door and business will collapse as we have a lot of competitors.

Pros: Area Manager
Cons: Be very pro active, and know what is going on around your business
