ρ Worked on the VIP Premier system
I have worked at Advtech HO (Group HR & Payroll) for +/- 9 years. I have then worked for Aurecon Pty (Ltd) for 14 months doing all their International (Dubai & Qatar) and also African Countries salaries when Advtech approached me to work for them at one of their schools (Maragon Private Schools) as the HR & Payroll administrator. I have a good relationship with my co-workers. I enjoy doing payrolls and to get involved with HR issues, I have learnt a lot. The most challenging aspect of my job is to get paperwork approved on time from HO.
Pros: Want to grow.
Cons: Don't want to travel so far.

Excellent company to work at
Great people, great culture and learning environment. Was a great place to learn an grow as young gentlemen entering the work place. Responsibilities comprised of public speaking at schools around South Africa to attract new leads nationally for Varsity College. I got on great with my coworkers which was the best part of working there Therefore I represented Varsity College nationally to increase awareness of Varsity College as a brand. The job too consisted of project management, customer relatonship management, strategic planning and travel planning in order to assist the Strategy team in national office. The most challenging part of the job was targeting schools that were of lower LSM by means of investing time into potential schools that could not afford Varsity College. I enjoyed the traveling part the most as it give me much cultural insight to South Africa as a whole and the potential markets that can be penetrated in the future.
Pros: Incentives, working structure and culture, traveling
Cons: Long hours
