Absa Reviews

 

Excellent learning experience

Working for ABSA/ Barclays from the year 2011 has taught me great things. I have acquired so many different skills. I am more confident in myself, I know that there is nothing that i cannot do if I just put my heart soul and mind to it. I have learnt how to deal with customers over the phone, face to face and even irate clients. I am now able to master the art of working under pressure and meeting deadlines. I have excellent admin skills. i am able to work both in a team and individually. I now have the skills to be a Personal assistant, team assistant, ability to service multiple people at the same time providing support and structure. I maintain high quality relationships with colleagues and customers. I enjoy being challenged and reaping the rewards of well and hard earned worked. My job was stressful in a way that every process had a deadline and within that time all information needed to be collected and thoroughly checked. By doing this i acquired a high level of attention to detail.

Pros: Great opportunity to acquire knowledge in a stressful environment as well as how to adjust
Cons: Growth in the company is very slow

Complex Query Specialist

Being the 'Go-To' guy for all company queries and being given a mandate that slightly higher than that of my peers realy makes me feel I can be impactful in a positive way to the business as some of the calls I made assisted in client retention, amongst others. That's just a typical work day for me

Pros: huge growth opportunity
Cons: top down management style

Good communication skills

I really like to work for ABSA as it is a great company with great opportunities, I have a very good relationship with my colleagues, I learned a lot from ABSA, I have learned to work on my own and sometimes with help from my colleagues, and I enjoy calling other departments , logging a call for something that is faulty, and the most challenging aspects of the job is when someone doesn't do their job and expect me to do it for him/her.

Pros: Great opportunity
Cons: normal working hours
