Barloworld Logistics managed the Unilever Transport network since 2007 and in 2014 Unilever took the transport in-house. Unilever at that point employed all the staff members excluding me because I was involved in the transition.During this transition Unilever employed another candidate in this position. I moved from Barloworld Logistics to Unilever on the section 197 at the end of 2014 and occupied a projects role and was retrenched in September 2015. I enjoyed working in a dynamic FMCG environment where one is confronted by new challenges daily. The ability to resolve these challenges and effectively meeting the delivery deadlines was a daily experience. I was on call 24/7 having to field calls and assist the execution team on shift to ensure that customer deliveries were compromised. for the client.
Pros: Good benefits
Cons: Have to field calls 24/7

My review below
I enjoy Project Management, its not just a job for me but it is a way of living for me as I am a very organised and time driven person in general. My typical day consist of setting up and chairing meetings with different work streams, updating of project status reports or dashboards and distributing of such. Its constant communication with different stakeholders. Updating of my project plan monitoring and managing risks. Writing of management consolidated reports for stakeholders and management / Business. I have very good communication skills and I make it my personal duty to get to know all my stakeholders and building relationships. I am well respected and I always respect everyone. I have build trusts and relationships and should conflict arise on my project I know it can be resolved at the beginning stages. We deal with different personalities on projects and therefore it is important to try and identify each personality very early.
Pros: In Project Management there is always room to grow.
Cons: The long hours and travelling can be tiring on projects

Excellent people skills and statistical data analysis
- Team work is extremely visible and important to the department -I was once given an employee of the month trophy because the team felt i contributed more than expected to the team objectives -Relationship with co-workers is GREAT!! we have an open door policy and i always feel like my opinion is heard and taken seriously. We joke around which creates a great working environment -i enjoy training sessions. we gave lean training sessions to the business employees from different accounts ( nike, toyota,PPC etc) where Barloworld is contracted to provide logistics services. - i thoroughly enjoy data analysis part of my job - The most challenging aspect of my job is getting buy-in from management. - Another challenge is presenting data in a simplified way that management can understand
Pros: We are measured on Output
Cons: Travel

Further Career Development
Manage the day to day activities of projects. Review project plans to have visibility of deliverable deadlines. Follow up with go workers to understand any specifics project risks or issues that require attention. Attend project meetings, workshops, presentations. Great relationship with co workers. Really love the feeling of accomplishment when a project goes live. I find the management of the resources the most challenging aspects of my work due to the most resources having far too much work on their plates. I always try to motivate my resources to dedicate more time to my projects.
Pros: Great brand.
Cons: Insufficient opportunities for promotion.

Career Growth
Im very much a team player & believe the people you surround with & work with builds the success. A typical day is that I'm an early 6h30 ish starter to get all the admin & planning out the way, during the course of the day is a mixture of client visits, networking, internal project/sales/strategy meetings. Proud to say my relationship with co-workers is extremely strong, which I believe everyone forms a link in the chain to assist the business in obtaining its strategy.What I have learnt?, Im still learning and will continuously learn from customers & co-workers, the important thing is that you take this & turn it into opportunities. What I enjoy the most is achievement, this doesn't only happen in the work place but also in sports & family life. Achievement brings satisfaction, if you have achieved something in a day, a week or what ever, its very gratifying, self rewarding & motivating.The most challenging aspects of my job is meetings to have meetings. Very unproductive & not motivating at all.
Pros: Opportunity for growth and obtaining more experience
Cons: Im not a great cold canvass caller

Career growth
My day at work starts with running integration processes into the finance ERP system. I journalese any inter company transactions and consolidate my business unit to balance this. I am currently responsible for 5 other business units so I ensure that I delegate work equally to my subordinates. I reconcile all my general ledger accounts monthly and any outstanding items or variances are rectified within the next period. i review payroll and process the relevant accrual journals. I have a good relationship with my co-workers my motto is "life is simple why complicate it". In the 3 years that I have been in Barloworld I have learnt to be independent, self reliant and growing into managing people. I enjoyed working with people and being a key decision maker in our operations environment. The most challenging is when I started taking over more business units because we were short staffed however I welcomed the challenge as part of my growth.
Pros: Flexiblity and independence
Cons: Long hours
