I've been working on a contract basis for 4 years with no indication of going permanent. I worked hard to achieved targets, sometimes 10 hrs a day. Once I have reached my target I will assist co-workers to reach theirs. I would really like a permanent job to enjoy the benefits like medical aid and pension funds. and would like to have a secure job which compliments my hard work. I get along with all cultures, get involved with charity, take part in all events arranged by the bank.
Pros: Contract work only

Knowing line managers duties.
A good place to work start a career. It builds up a character because we work with different people form different backgrounds, culture, age, gender etc. As I have worked for ABSA for the passed ten years there are more relationships I have with clients. It is more challenging as I am supposed to be alert at all times, to avoid shortages, surpluses, Fraud against staff & clients. Accuracy, Integrity, Accountability, Stewardship, Excellence are part of the values that I must have. Its always difficult as we serve more than 200 clients a day with different attitudes. As some may complain that the queue is not moving. But in all that you are suppose to satisfy them and apologize. I have a good relationship with my co-workers as I`m always humble whether they are at fault or not. What I enjoy most is when even when I`m on annual leave or on lunch customers will always want me back at work. I have learnt to be humbled and to respect others.
Pros: Depends on you rating.
Cons: On paydays
