Embracing change

Daily I have the privilege to work across region, culture and gender. Besides assisting local Sandton office with practice support I also support our Ghana and Tanzania office. One of our main objectives is integrating people, systems and processes. The people aspects are never the same how things are understood and perceived but also the approach that you need to use in each location to implement the same initiative. It is exciting to work and experience other cultures, and experience language barriers and learning to think on your feet. It is not always easy but when you succeed with the team it's worth celebrating. The learnings from this experience just give an appreciation for others. I travel regularly and working with teams on the ground has been eye opening and embracing of change and exchange of wonderful ideas. A virtual team of note.

Pros: great opportunity and different cultural experiences. We work in an integrated fashion to ensure we achieve objectives. Many ideas which is great for change. leadership styles vary but some dynamic leaders as young as 30 and ss old as 78
Cons: fast pace and very focus but loose at times track on focus. long approval processes.

Excellent learning curve

I work on different matters, therefore, the work is not repetitive. A typical work day is hectic and may go up to 10 hours (sometimes more than 12 hours if there is something urgent).

Pros: Slim chances for promotion
Cons: Long hours

Limited growth opportunities

Worked with some of the most amazing people. Co-workers were supportive and good team players. Time management, diverse cultures and excellent seminars definitely a great learning curve.

Pros: Great people
Cons: Limited growth

Hardworking

I currently work for 4 directors; 3 associates and 2 CA's. Although this compliment is big for a normal secretarial position, most of the associates and CA's do their own drafting of agreements etc. I assist mainly with administration. Month-end is a challenge as time limits and various other factors impact the pressure of meeting the deadline. I have a wonderful relationship with 99% of my co-workers. I am a team player. I however do not appreciate rude behavior and impatience as I believe the impatience of managers makes the employee "incompetent" according to their then emotions. I enjoy my team spirit in general. I have been complimented on my "sunny disposition" and general attitude towards my team.

Pros: A general good company being one of the big 5.
Cons: Nothing.
