Excellent learning environment!

My current position as Centre Manager is a overall comprehensive job - you have to have your fingers on the pulse of everything all the time. My daily routine during a normal day would be to do my rounds early morning - greet all my tenants and talk and discuss sales and business. I also help them with marketing showing them how to shift stock around and make it look different every day. Some days your duty requires a personal touch where you connect with tenants on a more personal level. My biggest challenge is to teach people about service delivery. I enjoy working with people, being a mediator and also a connection between them and my head office. To be on duty at basically all hours because of my shopping mall being busy all the time is also a challenge as a person is never able to be "off" in reality. A Einstein said: 'A human being will always be in the search for meaning.' And meaning to me is to be able to be who you are and to live live to fullest - to not just exist!

Pros: Wonderful environment for experience!
Cons: On duty all hours!

Excellent learning curve

Starting the deadline in the Property Sector, meant that all expenses data had to be completed within the first 10 days, starting the month. Learning for management fees, Partner Packs and Vat returns, was stressful, but every monent and experience a learning curve. Team building and team play, was of utmost importance to keep the working chain flowing. Different personalities and brains was the cherry the cake required. What I learned most, that each financial data, was of utmost importance, but also crucial. After all deadlines are meant, I enjoyed our social, as it was time to catch up with other colleagues in other departments. Whereas, you can also learn more in regards to the legal side of renting. Most challenging was, the volumes and how to plan ahead your deadlines. To also go the extra mile, was very rewarding.

Pros: Great Environmental working space within the teams
Cons: No growth positions within the department

Ever changing, fast paced and tons of last minute changes.

Starting nice and early as I prefer to do, generally doing site inspections, liasing with contractors and plenty of emails and on-site meetings is what a general day entails. Learnt how to be patient with co-workers as we do not always have the same time line as each other to complete tasks and I tend to be a quick problem solver. Most challenging part is having people in management who do not have in my opinion sufficient experience and are much younger than myself.

Pros: Stable hours
Cons: No promotional opportunities

Different to maintaining one large Site.

I respond to 50 plus emails in every morning than I plan and discuss jobs for internal team.I do assessments costing/quotes for new business. Everyday is different as I have several projects running across 28 sites. I enjoy the travelling between cites four provinces. The most challenging is keeping to time to deadline on projects and responding to breakdowns to the far out sites.

Pros: Room for growth
Cons: Long hours as travelling is extensive

Enjoyed the diversity

There was an over load of work and therefor aa slower response to tasks, however once management or in this case manager had his favorites. The opinion, hard work and delegation has not been noted. The gets irritated with anything and will go against what is best even though he knows it's right. up

Pros: Great virions
Cons: Regional Manager attitude
