The pressure of working for one of the best in the industry always keep on my toas.

I am working for one of the best in the industry and I have gained huge experience working for this company. I have a great working spirit with my teammates and I also train new staff members. I enjoy working with people and figures and my challenges are obtaining information from third party in order to be inline with my deadlines. I have learned that there are no short cuts in life and you need to build relationships and maintain them as well. On a busy day there would be numerous deadlines on the day making you run around, however with experience now in place I know that some of the work than can be done and released before deadline date gets to be done and released.

Pros: Due to my commitment and professionalism, I have been promoted to senior fund accountant which is in the same line as team leader role.
Cons: I put the client first and at times I have to work long hours including weekends to meet the client's demands.

Learning curve

I enjoy what I do, the only reason for moving is for more growth. A typical work day is extremely busy, with lots of queries and calls, and lots of pressure especially at month end, I have however learnt to deal with this. I have a great relationship with my colleagues, we have a good relationship and we understand and assist each other. I work with a great team and I enjoy the way we work together. Month end cut off is the most challenging time for me.

Pros: Work with a great team
Cons: distance of travelling.

Ability to work in a high process environment

Growth at me previous company was slow. The opportunity to gain exposure to other process was not an option.my relationship with co-workers was ok i had no issues.i have learnt allot with regards to the different type of work processes Alexander forbes had compared to old mutual. Being exposed to two process flows from these two massive corporates was all positive as it only strengthened my abilities

Pros: Great work hours
Cons: All processes were manual
