Conducive environment
A typical day at work was fun but yet exhausting as the shifts took a toll, we learned to be very effective, efficient and pay attention to deal as we had to make sure that our work that we captured on the system was accurate. Management was fun and very assisting in many ways where we did't understand, the helped out. The culture of the job was amazing as we worked together and encouraged each other to do well in the work place. The hardest part of the job was time keeping and reading data captured by the survey consultant in writing hard to read as the hand writing was different. Adjusting to working in different shifts from working Monday to Friday shifts.
Pros: training applicable
Cons: lower renumeration

Excellent working enviroment.
Review My typical work day is arriving at work in the morning, smiling and greeting everyone, having a cup of coffee and prioritizing my work and then start work. I always have excellent relationship with my co worker. I have learn to be patient when dealing with customers stakeholders and client. I enjoyed travelling and interacting with people. The most challenging aspect of my job is getting a feedback from financial directors as they are always busy. I it also difficult to convince them and get information from them.

The great learning curve
Working at statistics SA has given me a opportunity and exposure to data engineering I have established a great working relationship with my colleagues in a sense that they always ask me to do things for them and I faithfully do and deliver on time, this is to say I am reliable. I have learned to do any kind of work no mater how difficult, small or big it is because at the end you get to be exposed and gain experience. The most challenging aspect of the Job is that there is lot of work to do but there is no enough staff to do it which leaves me with having to do work of three people that are vacant and the department has frozen the posts.but still work progresses and I am faithfully delivering.
Pros: Great opportunity to learn different design of what could have been done by others.
Cons: More tasks to do in a short space of time.
