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

It has given me the exposure of handling things on my own and making final calls as I sit fit.

My typical day at work is organizing of meetings and events with different stakeholders- high pressure environment at times. I am currently managing two seniors managers diaries. My work ethic and relationship is of high quality because I treat the people I work with with great respect because I know I expect the same. I get along well with every team member. Through my years of working here and as an administrator- time is of great importance proper planning is key. What I enjoy most about my job is being responsible for projects and working with them from start to finish.

Pros: Great steeping stone.
Cons: Repetition
