Lots to learn

Work Day at lafarge Quarry always busy with long working hours . Always got on well with the co - workers and believed in team work, to tackle problem areas. Leaner ed about different products that we made and sold, and about mining of the rock. Enjoyed the most was project management, planning to the completion of the project.

Pros: lots to learn
Cons: long working hours

Terrible

There are no systems in place. Most of the learning has been self learning for myself. Trust levels are very low. There is a culture of finger pointing.

Pros: Pay is ok.
Cons: No existing development system in place.

Excellent learning curve

A typical work day for me involves visiting current clients to cement relationships and grow the business. I also visit client sites to ensure delivery and quality is achieved. Problem solving from an operational, accounts and technical perspective is also part of what is done. My relationship with co-workers is very good as well as professional. The most challenging aspect at the moment has been the economy and having so much opposition that are more reasonable than us has not been fun. I love dealing with and learning people though, and that part of my job is where my passion lies - relationship management on all levels.

Pros: None at the moment
Cons: Exceptionally long hours expected
