Fast paced environment
Demanding high paced environment that requires high integrity and attention to detail. One deals with highly confidential client information and systems have to be available 24\7 as a result you have to be available on your phone constantly with your laptop at hand. I love the challenge provided by the ever changing and evolving technologies and the way of doing business. I love that I am part of the team that is at the helm of things. I enjoy bringing technologies and systems to life providing assistance to both the users and the technicians.
Pros: Interaction with key business stakeholders helps one understand the bigger picture and the direction the firm is taking
Cons: Travel time to and from work

Great learning curve and an opportunity to practice my language skills.
At the moment I am working for the ethics line, so I am in charged of translating Spanish reports into English as well as giving the callers feedback regarding their reports in Spanish. I work with a team of other call agents that specialize in other languages and we work together in order to resolve caller's concerns. I have learnt to deal with daily deadlines as well as working with people who are often aggravated over customer service and ethics issues. The most challenging aspect is calming down individuals who have issues and getting them to divulge sensitive information.
Pros: Great working experience.
Cons: Not much room for growth, long hours and no benefits.

Interesting field
The company is a large audit firm with a great work ethos and culture. I only feel that it does not advance its personnel enough nor invest. I would like to be in a organisation that rewards hard work and treats everyone fairly and accurately. I draft/review the firms legal contracts and advise internally and externally when they engage with clients and conduct ad hoc legal duties. I have learnt or taken away lot in that the financial industry is fast paced and has taught me time management and how to handle challenging situations. I enjoy the travelling part and engaging external clients at times. It can be challenging gin that we have a small legal department and we handle all aspects of a very huge firm but we somehow manage.
Pros: Flexible hours
Cons: Lack of promotion

Excellent learning curve it is.
I always have a good day at work I have the best relationship with my co-workers. We work as a team together to share ideas ect. I have learn to respect one another and always be open and honest. Things that I enjoy most is the way we work hard and get the job done. You always feel proud about it. The way we learn different things everyday is challenging but at the same time its a learning curve.
