Complex Query Specialist
Being the 'Go-To' guy for all company queries and being given a mandate that slightly higher than that of my peers realy makes me feel I can be impactful in a positive way to the business as some of the calls I made assisted in client retention, amongst others. That's just a typical work day for me
Pros: huge growth opportunity
Cons: top down management style

Learnt a lot about working with people especially handling conflicts .
A typical work day is calling clients to get them to rectify their cheque based overdrawn account and thereafter submit a report on the task. The time frame of the task is between 08:00 am till 10:00. The the sanctioner have comments about your report its returned for re-work dead line before 15h00. Ad hoc requests such as request bank codes, increases in credit limits also forms part. The role is risk based and naturally there is conflict between sales and credit.So at times this puts stain on the relationship . I have learnt that managing expectation is key in any working relationship . Its important to establish common objectives I enjoyed learning new things the most and working on new credit based applications Systems issues , non responsive customers , processes and red tape .
Pros: Learnings
Cons: Gets very adminstrative with all reports going back and forth

Great working environment with support from bottom up and vice versa
Working with Absa has groomed me into a better and more professional engineer than i was a few years ago. the environment is work friendly and the people are well supportive. i have learnt how to work on a team and understand the importance that each role player plays withing a project. i enjoy doing projects where i am less supervised or with no supervision at all, this gives me room for thinking and making decisions based on the observations and customer needs.
Pros: As per the structure, there is room for growth and promotions within the department.
