Very wide range of duties and love the challenge
Doing the travel bookings for all the staff within Seda KZN is a full time job and I love the challenge of getting it all done in time. Setting up for meetings and making sure all participants receive the meeting packs before the meeting keeps me running around a bit but it is essential that they get it all. With the managers away from the office often, making sure that all relevant documents gets approved and submitted to our Head office takes a lot of coordination. The staff get along very well but like in any job there is going to be times that not everybody agrees with what is done, that is what makes life interesting.
Pros: stable secure employment
Cons: no room for growth

In this environment one has to be very adaptive. Workplace is your next home, I have to make it so interesting otherwise my job will so stressful, this will include team buliding initiatives, e.g. Fridays we have a joint lunch with staff; creating fun walk days.

I enjoy working with clients and solving their eveday problems or attempting to solve them this assist me in understanding the general business world on a different level. The most challenging part of this job is too demamding as we are assisting business to grow, the better you do the more clients you will have.

Working for Seda
Working for Seda has it's own challenges, just like any other job would have. It seems as if nobody can stick to the schedules as sent out for meetings or deadlines for reports. It is my biggest task to get reports submitted on time because the branches can't stick to deadlines.
Pros: Stable secure employment. Close to home.
Cons: No scope for growth
