Great Work Environment
It is a great environment to work at. Supportive management. I have learnt a lot about management as my job involves a part of management duties and procurement procedures. I have a great working relationship with my colleagues and supportive Head of department. The biggest challenge is that I am doing the It Support, Management and Procurement all on my own.
Pros: Great Work Environment
Cons: Heavy workload

Project administrator/ business analyst/Data ware housing
I love the environment that I work in. It is unfortunate that the internship does not mean permanent employment. I came into the company a fresh graduate but I have learned a lot. Because we are a small company, it feels like working with friends. We work as a team and cover for each and help each other out. If I have task and I am not sure how to carry it out my co-workers were always there to help. We did project management for a software company who was a client of ours. That was a huge learning curve as I worked as project administrator and business analyst. Doing the software for an asset management company was also a bonus as I have a keen interest in finance and investments.
Pros: great learning curve for me.
Cons: the job was not permanent

Good exposure but insufficient tasks
A typical day at work is getting in the out to do whatever task you have been allocated. It is a small company thus everyone is friendly towards each other. I have learnt that I am very efficient and a fast learner and that the work given to me is to little to even consume 2 hours of my time. There is nothing challenging as yet because it is part-time thus I do not experience everyday working conditions.
Pros: Excellent working team and experience attaining environment
Cons: Not enough task to do

My experience has proved challenging but I always overcome and perform accordingly.
Working for Prosite Plan has been an experience because it’s opened me up to the architectural industry as well as the Supply chain management. It’s truly been a pleasure to be part of such an environment. My day to day consisted of office administration work and later I became introduced to the HRM sector which is my primary interest.
Pros: Great opportunity for promotion
Cons: Long working hours

A qualified biochemist with an interest in Publich Health Policy
Passionate about the fields of health science and health policy, with an interest within research related to diagnostic science through the use of medical biochemistry. Using the skills that I have learned within the field of biochemistry, I am able to apply them within the industry of biotechnology to test for various microbiological pathogens as well as to analyse the biological composition of these samples. I also have an interest in how public health ethics can further improve public-health policy-making. With this idea in mind, I have seen the need to incorporate more of an understanding of Ethical and Bioethical systems into policy making, both for the public and private health sectors.
Pros: Great opportunity for industrial research
Cons: Challenging, depending on how much information is available based on a specific topic of research.

Good employer to work for
Wits is a progressive employer. Employee relations are relatively good and employees have every reason to feel secured in their positions, of course with good performance on their part. In the Departments I have worked in, one is given some freedom to do the work without supervision, even very junior staff, as long as there are no issues with their performance.
Pros: Great opportunity for learning as the university pays for studies for staff, depending the institution one wants to study at is an approved and accreditted one.
Cons: Depending on which Department you work, there might be long hours involved, but generally we have normal working days.

Good working relationship
At Center for learning on evaluation and results-Anglophone Africa, a normal day involves administrative duties and a bit of finance on daily bases. We are five Junior Researchers recently started working for CLEAR-AA and I am the only one who is also assisting the Programme Administrative Officer with administrative stuff. I learned a lot about performance monitoring and evaluation, research and work that is done by Evaluators. I enjoy working on certain projects within five CLEAR-AA business lines and the most challenging of them all is the theory behind everything that CLEAR-AA is working on.
Pros: Good exposure to the field of monitoring and evaluation
Cons: Work is never finished and the pressure is massive

It has been a great opportunity for me to exercise responsibility.
I work 6 hours each week and the course coordinator is very easy to work with. However, I do my duties only on Tuesdays and Fridays. This opportunity has definitely built my interpersonal, leadership and public speaking skills. I enjoy the responses I get from the students I tutor.
Pros: The flexible time schedule which allows me to dedicate some time to my own academic commitments.
Cons: Sometimes students don't pitch for one-on-one consultations.
