Santam Reviews

 

Excellent learning curve

I am in a very different industry for the first time ever since I started working as a Credit Controller and feeling so relaxed and cared for by my colleagues. I have learnt that a high salary is not important but the peaceful work environment. I enjoy the laughter in the office. The most challenging aspect is only on month ends when I have to leave huge unmatched claims due to incorrect claim numbers and or having a claims that have been raised incorrectly.

Pros: Good opportunity for me to learn how insurance companies work.
Cons: Traffic from Johannesburg CBD

Attend calibration meetings. Assist consultants with questions on excess, clauses, underwriting. Do callibrations amongst QA consultants. Give feedback to insurance consultants regarding progress of QA. Meet required targets. I assist the consultants to the best of my ability, also give regular feedback on their progress, include tips on the evaluations. I enjoy providing training and assistance most. Result is what drives me and seeing the constant improvement in the consultants. What I enjoy most is assisting and explaining the actual evaluation forms and what the different questions entails.

Excellent learning experience

There is nice typical work day as every day has new challenges. Relationships With my co-workers is more then just business I would like to say we've became more like family. The knowledge and experience that I have taken with me is that hard work and good relationships always makes days go by without a struggle and what I enjoy the most of working working for santam in both departments is the good friendships I've built and always having the opportunity to learn something new. The only challenging aspects of the job is knowing the the deal /handle each account/client with the different individual attention that is required. But overall I enjoy working with people whether it be my co-workers or my clients.

Pros: Room to grow management always supportive
Cons: 30 minutes lunch break
