I have learnt a lot in working with labour, salary negotiations and retrenchments

My typical work days are very long since there is extensive travelling. There are also lots of CCMA arbitrations. My relationship with co-workers is great since I am very out going and fun loving. I have learnt that patience pays. I enjoy travelling. Recruitment since we don't use agencies and portals.

Pros: Training
Cons: Lots of travelling

Good learning curve

As a branch manager my responsibilities is to archieve sales and cash target. No supervisor or Admin manager,or 2IC to assists , Im leading the sales and credit team. Make sure that customer's buy and also pay. Receive and dispatch stock is stock clerk is on leave. Working debtors book,to ensure that we don't have Bad debts. Going out to ask payments to customers who missed their payments. Provide accurate customer's service. I've learnt to interact with people from different cultures. And I also learnt to multi task. I enjoy dealing with cuatomers and assisting them in solving their queries and complaints. And dealing with staff with different age groups,as you know that their behavior and thinking are not the same. Challenging aspects there's a lot of paperwork work

Pros: Able to multi task
Cons: Long working hours with no overtime, no opportunity for promotion.
