Vsc Solutions is a great small company under SuperGroup.
A typical day at work: I start work at 10 am, first thing I do is check email-respond. Do my daily routing feedback, make changes if there are to yesterday's plan. It is a small company so we all know each other, it is mainly young people so we have alot in common and we always talking, sharing skills, teaching each other new skillsets and bouncing ideas off each other. It is a great work environment. I have learnt alot, from binary codes, to advanced excel, SQL, SAP, DSD, Roadshow data manipulation, plotting customers, exercises and presenting skills. I enjoy training new employees, I enjoy communicating with the customer and working independently. The most challenging aspects is dealing with difficult clients, people who don't understand processes and are defensive or aggressive.
Pros: Great Opportunity for growth
Cons: Salary

Excellent learning curve
The company has provided a good learning opportunity. A typical day at work begins with scheduling for clients and later doing planning for centres. My team and I work extremely well together. I have learned alot about distribution applications and scheduling applications. Strategic planning is what I enjoy doing the most. Lack of communication with superiors is a challenge and causes some issues that can be avoided.
Pros: Good learning opportunity
Cons: Long working hours

Good learning curve
There is a lot to learn when you first start Most of this consists of procedural/daily tasks that are required of planners, and specific routing conventions depending on the day/customer. Proficiency with route planning can be achieved relatively quickly and the position becomes quite dull and repetitive after that. There are days when exceptions make work exciting however the majority of the working week is the same.
Pros: Good work-life balance if you are based at head office.
Cons: Long working hours without compensation. Client based so you don't feel part of the company.

Limited growth
limited growth, limited increase in income, poor management decisions, no transparency. There's has been wasteful expenditure under the same management. Management refuses to see the potential of their people and never wants to invest in them. Immature way of managing people, sort of a police approach. Certain processes only pertains to certain persons.
Pros: Good people and friendly enviroment
Cons: No direction

Pros: Great opportunity for graduates
Cons: Can work longer hours due to scope of work
