Team player and considerate
I get along well with all my colleagues in the years that I have served at this current company I havent received a complaint or fought with any staff memeber including our clients. I respect and give our clients great customer service and do so at the best of my ability without bending policies and procedures. I have trained in the most of our departments so that when we are short staffed I can fill the gaps to avoid complaints and keeping our clients happy and to keep them within the business
Pros: Great oppotunities
Cons: Long working hours

My experience with my current company
ABSA is a good company to work for with great staff benefits. In the 11 years that I have been with the company I have acquired vast set of skills and knowledge in this field. My current role also includes compiling of monthly reports, daily stats recording, solutionising for our clients by offering better ways of working. Working with service level times and deadlines every day has taught me how to work under pressure This experienced has given me the ability to work well on my own as well as in a team to achieve company goals and objectives. I work very closely with my co-workers. What I enjoy most about my job is that I get to please my clients by means of offering a service to them, and also have a good funfilled relationship with my colleagues.

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.

It had been a nice stepping stone. I need to grow now.
Starting in a bank as a teller is such a nice experience because I told my self it was just a stepping stone. I have gained a lot of experience now that I need to go and bring new ideas somewhere else. I like grooming and coaching my team. Most challenging thing is when I cannot meet sales targets.
Pros: There are a lot of trainings.
Cons: Sales target when are not met.

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
