Enjoy working for the company, great benefits
I love working for this company, but I have realise when you work too long for 1 department, you get to know your line manager's behaviour which changes radically when your views and that of your line manager's is not the same and that can put a toll on the relationship, although it does not directly affect you, you can see behaviours change when other staff members are involved. so for me personally if I could do this over again I will just work for 5 years in a department and then move to another dept.
Pros: at the moment there is no opportunity for growth
Cons: working hours is great, but I have to fill in for receptionist when she is not here and work here hours, where as I can leave earlier than usual.

Exciting environment
A typical work day includes all the usual administrative duties expected in any office situation. The big diffrence is in the amount of calls of and the nature of the calls you receive from readers of our newspapers nationwide. It is also the kind of environment that you need to be able to think on your feet, things changes abruptly. There are deadines, deadlines and even more deadlines. The people you work with are usually great people, with very outgoing and creative personalities. You need to understand the pressure your colleagues are under and always try and smooth the day for the as much as possible. Always be one step ahead: make sure the office printers are serviced and working, never run out of stationary or office amenities and always have a plan B, C and even a plan D.
Pros: Working in the print media is very exciting and a very different experience than the usual coroprate office.
Cons: The pressure is really on to combat the effect that the digital era has brought on. You need to bring your A-game all of the time.

Pros: I was inmature when I started working at the company the working experience made me more responsible

Fun company (just not my department)
I work in the "Accounts Receivable" department of the company, and it has a different set of principles and values. It is less fun and not as challenging. Relationship with colleagues is tainted, because of the rules made by management.
Pros: Company culture is fun and exciting
Cons: Too many strict rules

Build on my extensive range of technical skills
It is a pleasure to work at my current company. I have a great relationship with my co-workers. We have a lot of respect for each other and always encourage each other. We also do have our disagreements at times, but we all matured enough to work through it. I've learnt to deal with people from different cultures and beliefs and to respect the individual. I work directly with the financial manager and have very little interaction with the other people on the floor. When I'm really very busy they would all ask why I'm so quiet. I enjoy that I have to work directly with the financial manager because this gives me the opportunity to learn understand his tasks.
Pros: the staff benefits
Cons: no room for growth
