Experience
I have learned a lot from this company from my co-workers. When I joined the company, the only person who was working at branch resigned. I was all alone in the big sea, I had to depend to co-workers at other branches for help as I was new. The fact that I didn't finish my training due the passing of my son made things worse. I have to learn fast and being the only employee in branch I had lot on my shoulders. I am happy I went through that, because today I am a better person and I can everything on my own and learned how to do administration work and also manage field team. I am working as a second in charge. I have everything that is happening in this branch. I also enjoyed sharing my knowledge with new employees. I have learned a lot dealing with different customers. I have learned to handle angry customers and also customers who have lost their loved ones.
Pros: Great opportunity for learning and meeting new people
Cons: Having to explain to beneficiaries that waiting periods are not completed
