Being a Branch Admin in a small branch
I am a branch administrator I print and action my listings on a daily basis. I also relieve a teller or customer service for lunch. I am a bubbly person who works well with colleagues , most of the time I train staff that is new in the branch. I have learned that communication is the key to a great team and how the message is conveyed is very important. Working in a team requires effort and participaion. You can't do everything by yourself. Being multi skilled is also important because I am able to assist in different departments when the need arise. Talking to poeple , getting to know them and assist were I can. I have a lot of work to do sometimes I feel time moves fast.
Pros: I have been working as a manager for tellers but there's no promotion
Cons: Working without taking lunch , when I take lunch my work gets to me too much and cant finish in a day.

Opportunities for junior staff from Retail to Commercial banking.
Typical work day - Working through operational challenges and clearing path ways for my team. Absa bank is too internally focused and lacks the ability to deliver a holistic client offering. Relationship with co - workers - I maintain a professional relationship and focus on adding value to my team and stakeholders. What you have learnt - Due to the operational challenges collaboration efforts have proven to be great skill to navigate.
Pros: Absa has the ability to produce better results, however the culture does not allow for quicker decision making.
Cons: Local leadership team dis empowered to make decisions with respect to their businesses.

EXCELLENT LEARNING
Communication makes everything easier. Schedule periodical calls with my customers to share updates about how things are going and to ask how happy they are with your services on a scale from 1-10, 10 being best. If they do not give me a 10, do not ask why but ask what it would take to make it a 10. If they give me a score of 10, ask what they particularly appreciate.Share new market insights, my opinion on the matter, and opportunities that your clients might not be aware of yet. Generating valuable content shows that you are on top of my game and improves brand awareness. Clients will also be likely to share your content or recommend your services to their connections based on publicly available content.should always strive to be the best company in the market. If people see my business as a leading brand in the market, they are much more likely to stick to me. They have confidence in me because the consensus confirms that they already have one of the best providers
Pros: GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR PROMOTION
Cons: WILLING TO WORK OVERTIME

Good developer
It was a great opportunity with a lot of benefits but it was just time to move on, I have been exposed to a great new world of hard-core economy. I made good friends as well as those who didn't like me enough. I have learned how to be independent and hard to my self and be aggressive to opportunities presented to me. What I found challenging were the targets that were provided to me to achieve, although, I did achieve most there were those that humbled me.
Pros: great opportunity to exposure
Cons: unrealistic targets
