Tedious
Unfair at times as they do not recognise talent from inside. They will employ someone who is clueless about what they are doing pay them a lot of money while the others who are junior are supposed to clean up their mess. There is lack of accountability as well. If you are not interested in staying for long with the company, it's a great opportunity for learning and seeking employment elsewhere as growth potential is limited. You will stay in one position for a very long time without moving.
Pros: great learning for procurement role
Cons: people not taking responsibility and lack of accountability

SARS as a employer
as a tax specialist within the audit division i was granted the opportunity to work with the best professionels within the tax faternity and was exposed to a vast array of industries and companies. What enjoy most that every audit was new and a excellent learning curve, each and every company or industry is unique and everytime i have to addopt to the new environment and challenges. i was exposed as an e.g. to the arms deal, the Fidentia scandal, the fishing & wine industry, the construction industry, the oil industry and in my last years i conduct various investigations in to the tender fraud within the private and public sector. within the specialist audit divisions we work and operate in small teams consisting of professional staff members each with their own unique set of skills and experience. SARS was a great organisation to work for but unfortunually it has also become a victim of state capturing.
Pros: exposure to so many learning opportunities
Cons: politics

Management level
I enjoy working at my company; my job schedule for the day is very tight but I have a very good working relationship with all my bosses; they trust me with what I do; my boss deligate most of his duties to me with the purpose of grooming me to become highly skilled; I have a very good relationship with my fellow colleagues as well. The only challenge is that I'm not getting any recognition in terms on getting appointed in the next level job this in my view is due to the fact that my manager rely too much on me and he has highlighted that on my last one on one meeting that I've had with him; my character and behaviou makea the manager to old on to me knowing that if I have to leave it will be a loss of valuable resource
Pros: Great opportunity for promotion
Cons: Meeting tight deadlines

Great place to have started my journey in terms of career
I am currently part of a tax compliance risk unit, we identify risk in four areas i.e. registration, filing, declaration as well as payments. That involves a lot of financial information analysis, from Annual financial statements to the use of third party data. Financial analysis involves analytical review procedures, inspection of support documentation by different taxpayers and evaluation of accounting procedures used to prepare the financials. The working environment is great as we work in teams in an open plan environment. The managers are approachable and are willing to assist with projects initiated by their subordinates. I have learnt to take initiative since we are encouraged to think broad and come up with more relevant ways to deal with compliance.
Pros: Great place to learn about tax
Cons: Development is limited
