Good Company

There is no transparency in promoting people, we only see people moving to new positions. Salary increases are not in line with inflation, everything has increased but our salaries are not increasing even if you worked hard and smart for the whole year.

Pros: Flaxiblity
Cons: No transparency with regards to promotions

Excellent learning curve

I work in the Skills Development department, I am responsible for the base administration of everything as well as coordinating. I am responsible for track of our BEE information and score card and ensuring that all documentations are well kept. I have learned the importance of reviewing the Vendors BEE because it influences our status, WSP, PDP and the importance of the employees being developed. I have an amazing relationship with my team, we have agile meetings three time a week to review our work progress and any bottlenecks. I enjoy making a difference in my workplace’s success.

Pros: Allows me to grow
Cons: Overtime and very early mornings

Wonderful technical and professional foundations gained as an entry-level young grad

Typical day at the office involved mainly daily on-the-job duties from 8pm to 5pm with certain days requiring working extra hours. I had a very good working relationship with fellow staff members with open communication, exchanging ideas and could count on them for work related advice or even personal issues I had. Through my brief but wonderful entry role as a Reconciliation Analyst at Stanlib, I acquired competencies in back office finance, admin, teamwork, communication and cherished soft skill fundamentals which I can leverage to help streamline adapting to the job. The most challenging aspect of the job was definitely adjusting to the tight, daily deadlines as the job involved numerous high-value transactions within a given set timeframe. Tough as it was, I learned and adapted to the demands.

Pros: Great learning and developing environment
Cons: Limited opportunities

Job offers varying opportunities for advancement

I m in charge of operational risk mitigation, ranging from implementing risk controls to fraud investigation and reporting. I basically work with everyone in the business in bringing whatever untoward things to their attention and to be rectified immediately to avoid financial and reputational risks. I enjoy my work as its not monotonous and rather varying and challenging on daily basis, I have learnt to manage my time properly and integrity as two paramount traits required in the my position. I provide management with constant feedback on operational risk aspects through daily and monthly reports.

Pros: opens doors for venturing into any business unit as operational risk skills is in demand
Cons: resistance and push-back by some business units managers

Great learning curve

I was part of the creditors team . I dealt with queries and people and clients everyday. I'm a great team player and I can also work alone. I can work under pressure and reach deadlines. The only downside about my previous employer is not supportive to person growth.

Pros: Support learning systems
Cons: No room for growth

Had great growth and opportunities to learn

Not a bad place to work... However the business channels are very competitive with each other and a lot of emphasis is given else making it seems like other divisions do not matter.... No company culture.. Depending on management your experience can go either way...

Pros: Seen as a OK mid sizes brand
Cons: Short staffed
