Good company to work for but I am travelling to Honeydew daily. Traffic & distance is too much.
I am a honest and fast worker. Attention to important detail and accuracy is non negotiable. I have yeras of exoerience and knowledge which any company will benefit from. Challenges are always handled with a positive attitude. To balance maximum sales and minimum risk is always a challenge. Vetting of new credit applications, reporting on collections, days outstanding, forecasts, provisions for bad debt, apply for insurance, motivate limits and follow-up on legal collections with Attorneys. Succeeding in collecting long overdue payments give me a lot of joy. I have learn that everybody have different skills and through understanding you can maximize production and manage costs and time.
Pros: No oppertunity for promotion as the Divisional Credit Manager is located in Cape Town
Cons: Normal working hours, but long hours travelling.

Worst company culture
Senior management expect you to work from 7 till 7 although this will not be presented at interview. Then you must stll do your admin as you are not allowed to do admin during normal working hours. You will have to go out to all alarms going of and when trucks cones in ealate or have to leave early. Thos happens daily. Sundays you are off but spend time trying to catch up on admin, prepare for meetings, training etc. The workload is unreasonable and the culture is extremly bad. Company was transformed 4 times in padt 3 years and employees from top to bottom work against each other, if you talk or assist and be professional towards an employee even if its your sen o r and another senior employee does not like that person your end is near. Terrible work life balance and you will most certainly burn out within a couple of months.
Pros: Good salary
Cons: Negative working environment

Excellent learning curve
Checking in stock and making sure everything is accounted for, consulting with the different managers to identify what and where to do things. Some employees find it difficult to embrace early mornings and so motivation is in order to start the day on a high note. Sometimes challenges arrise and need to be dealt with in a manner that doesnt affect the fluidity of the business in general. I enjoy learning and developing myself in a company, whether it be skills or relationships l. The most challenging aspect would hevae to be dealing with arrogant customers but handling them with a calm attitude mostly helps calm down the atmosphere.
Pros: Friendly staff
Cons: Long hours and unpaid overtime
