Ppc Cement Reviews

 

I am a B+ performa and very happy to work for the company

A typical work day: Resolving employee queries, filling, recruitment, reports , termination, completion of forms when required. - Very good relationship with my co-workers, we are like family, and assist each a lot to ensure good job performance or results. - I have learnt to listen, complete given tasks on time, meet deadlines and assist each employee regardless of their position, and to have open door policy and be approachable. - I enjoy accomplishing my work without any errors and getting recognitions on my work well done, and also to be correct where I went wrong because that is a learning curve for me. - Challenging aspects: difficult customers, short notice work, unresolved issues, A- Style manager.

Pros: New challenges and learning growth
Cons: No family time, and lots of errors on work provided.

QC

A typical work day as a quality controller at PPC cement would be a rush and relaxing, having to go out on the plant every two hours to collect raw material and the get them tested to let the production team know if its useable. The most challenging parts would be timing because some days I had to test and collect up to 11 raw materials on the plant and test them, on my own. I had a pretty good team that was always willing to help and I especially had a good relationship with the chemist. I had to learn very fast, 3 days max on how to test the materials and where to collect them, I worked shifts alone so there was no time for mistakes. I enjoyed roaming the plant and getting to know guys from different parts of the plant and them giving advice, but building good relationships with other workers is key to a successful company no matter their job titles.

Pros: Good culture
Cons: Lack of employees

Learning curve

Ppc is a good company on paper but in reality is somewhat of a hellish company. Its still very racist typical engineerrin company. Positions still very stereotypical, there are those that are reserved based on race.

Pros: Promotion reserved for whites
Cons: Very unsocial working hours, eg, 14h00 to 22h00 shift on a sunday

By proactively engaging in training employees can enhance their oppertunities for promotion.

A typical day at work is to use a systematic process to modify the knowledge, skills and behaviour of employees to enable them to achieve their objectives. Usually when work standards are low because of lack of knowledge and/or skills and/or poor attitude amongst individual employees or groups intervention needs to take place. As a team player I can work well within a group or individually across all race barriers especially with my co-workers. Over the years I have learnt that my responsibility is to manage the training function in such a way that it achieves the set objectives. What I enjoy most is the changes that one can see in the learners that are necessary to enhance the organisation through organisational/personal and performance improvements. The most challenging aspect of the job is to positively change the attitudes and beliefs which influence employee behaviour that can either support or restrain the development of new competencies.

Pros: I work well under pressure because i prepare for it before time. I tried to stay calm as possible and focus to get the job done.
Cons: I can sometimes be to committed to my work and dont spend enough time with other social activities.
