Full of daily challenges and difficult at times

A typical work day is full of challenges but broadens your knowledge. meeting new people every day which enhance communication skills. relationships wih co-workers are very important and helps maintain productivity in the work place. For the time I have been at the Department of the Premier, I have learnt a lot, from General Admin, Document Control, Database Management, Desktop Management, Microsoft Word and Excel among others. What I enjoyed most is working with different people each day. The most challenging aspects are trying to meet the deadlines.

Pros: Great opportunities for promotions and internal vacancies
Cons: Routine work sometimes makes it less interesting

After 15 years the job becomes unchalleging and monotonous

The only time the job is exciting is when the auditors do an audit at the end of every bookyear. These people are so set in their ways they refuse to change or adapt to new technology or new systems. the staff are alright but the work is routine. all i have learnt is that their systems are very outdated and ineffective. when one does the same work for years it becomes boring and monotonous. when one implements a system your system must be effective enough to do anything you require for reports etc.. if one needs to be effective as an employee one must design your own system - it is difficult for them too see the flaws and how to manage it.

Pros: I love new challenges and the freedom to use my own initiative.
Cons: working with people that cannot recognize new initiatives and its benefits

Provides legal and corporate services and co-ordinates specific provincial affairs

A fast paced environment with limited growth potential as the structure is set. Knowledge sharing amongst co-workers was visible and teamwork very helpful. Clientele relationships was sound and highly recommended. I enjoyed building excellent relationships with all other departments Managers' and build a trust relationship with the quality of work and guidance on processes provided within my capacity. I have learned that "red tape" processes have it's positive and negative impact on processes. The most challenging aspects of of my previous job was to assist other departments with inhouse decision making processes and relate it to Higher Authorities which at times were out of the job spec itself.

Pros: Limited growth and promotions
Cons: Irregular working hours
