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.

Great Corporate environment
Working at a school has its pressure from time to time. The most demanding time is when the year begins - a lot of Admin work is required but beyond that, theres a lot of downtime in betweeen. We go for team building sessions which is the reason why the employees at Advtech are like one big family and the Culture is great
Pros: Team dynamics
Cons: No benefits

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

Gain great work experience, work with students
Working at Varsity college was a great overall experience, i have gained so much knowledge regarding the process of working with contracts, people, finance, sports, and the different courses that people study in. The day started of my a meeting where we discussed the problems/issues we had yesterday and then we will arrange where all of the team should work today and their responsiblities. During the day we will assist the our co-workers and full-time employees with issues they needed also done if they had to much work to handle. Our team was like a small family that worked together, we consisted of about 30 people who handled 2000 contracts in total or had gone thru the team at the end of the registration time.
Pros: N/A
Cons: N/A

Strategic implementation and growth potential is limited.
While it is great being able to work with students, while having some additional responsibilities such as general admin, marketing, and operations, the very limited salary and severe limits on growth in the company, makes it difficult to stay there for too long. A typical workday would include: Class prep Class Student support Strategic planning (Depending on the time of year, events, etc..) Market research Dealing with parents I get along with most of my co-workers very well.
Pros: Great staff surrounding and a beautiful setting
Cons: Low promotion potential, low salary
