Excellent experience and learning curve
I was a Branch Manager when I left the Bank by taking an early retirement. i was managing a team of 40 Staff members whom I had a very good working relationship. Through the years I worked for Standard Bank, I learnt the importance of Teamwork and Customer Experience. I very much enjoy interacting with customers.
Pros: I used to relieve as the Regional Manager which could have opened promotion for me.
Cons: Although I worked long hours, I coped.

Building relationships and maintaining them with internal and external clients
Making sure that the committee forms a quorum, diary daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly planning with important events. Working as a team and having back ups when one is not at work I have learnt that there's no 'I' in a team Creating a work environment that is homely away from home as one spends 8 to 10 hours at work. When were are short staffed and is month end. My job is to make sure that there are no balls that are dropped due to shortage of staff. I make sure that I plan ahead to enable me to deliver my deliverables.
Pros: To focus on my work and delivering beyond my deliverables. If there's a planned event, make sure date is set up, invitees have placeholder in their dairies, send proper invitation, track the acceptance and declines, phone the declines to check what are the possibilities of attending or must I change date to suite them, look for venue, food. Drinks. Small gifts for attendees and facilitators that is within the budget,
Cons: Working 8 - 12 hours a day

It's a learning curve
It's a daily challenge as you have to resolve customer queries and escalations. Logging is very important as whatever you do needs to be recorded and traced. You need to be focused, punctual and accurate at all times as a single error can result into a loss for the company. Professional customer service is what you give daily as we are measured by QA and all calls are recorded. Good relationship with th the colleagues is an important part as we are a team and what ever we do impacts the company's reputation
Pros: Knowledge gained works even for you as an employee
Cons: No room for growth
