I started working at SABS as a student and I was permanently employed after a year, I learned a lot at SABS and I feel like I need more challenges. I worked very well with my colleagues, we supported each other and worked together as a team. most challenging aspects was when one colleague does not do his/her job which will be the input to my job.
Pros: there are less oppotunities for technical positions.
Cons: worked over time voluntary due to work load

How unique i am
I am excellent person who is always very energetic and always willing to learn new things. My relationship with my co-workers I am a team player and an individual player. I have learnt that accommodating all different cultures in your work environment will make you survive. What I enjoy most is being busy and understanding what I have to do and being able to guide other co-workers. the most challenging aspect is when my manager or superior does not give more information on what I have to do or get message from someone in the corridor. I believe communication is the golden rule in each company. I am a unique person who is goal driven and always make sure that I achieve and meet my target dates. confidentiality is always the rule that always make me to survive. I am a hard worker and always early at work.
Pros: Great opportunity to learn new things and have an idea on how to tackle them
Cons: willing to go an extra mile and also work long hours without even thinking of extra money.

Expectations in a new job
Working in an environment where customer service and one's HCM skills and knowledge are important and valued make it easy for one to wake up and go to work. The relationships with one's team, employees, management team and unions are crucial and very motivating for one to want to do better and learn every day. Maintaining these relationships, trying to finish one's to do list on a weekly basis, keeping HCM relevant to all stakeholders and improving service are the main challenges in this job. There is no day that's the same as the previous one as while it is important to finish tasks for the day or week, customer needs change almost everyday and thus getting the balance right between the two becomes a daily challenge.
Pros: The job would be more desirable if it includes dealing with all facets of HR including team leadership
Cons: While it is necessary, being bogged into administrative issues without proper supporting structure will prevent one from using one's hr strategic leadership.

Excellent working curve
Working at SABS has allowed me to revolve and combine the technical experience I have gained and apply it in my office work. Interacting with clients on a daily basis requires that I should always be focused and communicate effectively at all levels. Being goal-oriented has enabled me to always meet my targets and exceed that which was expected of me. I enjoy the management of projects as well as interacting with the industry as this allows me to always be aware of any technological advances happening.
Pros: great working hours
Cons: limited growth

Quality based environment
There's a great deal of focus on the quality achievement of products, and services. The customer is put first, in order to achieve quality orientated goals. There are very close relationships with co workers, as the work requires such involvement. The thing I enjoy most is testing a customer's product with the most commitment and responsibility, knowing that I make a difference in the nation.
Pros: Being exposed to servicing the customer and the nation
Cons: There are no cons per se, just generally working with people who pull in the opposite direction sometimes

Great learning experience
a typical work day differs, some days are too hectic and others are slow, but overall its okay. its a great company to learn from as they allow you to be innovative, you are not forced to do things the way others do them, what ever works for you, you go for it. Coworkers are very warm and it feels like home working there. Challenging aspect is very limited promotion oportunities.
Pros: great company to learn from
Cons: very limited promotion oportunities
