Ethekwini Municipality Reviews

 

During my working experience I have gained wealth of knowledge in all spheres of admin

Being overall in charge of staff I had to maintain a friendly but stern approach. Although an open book environment was maintained but certain aspects of confidentiality had to be maintained.

Pros: Being a huge municipality room for progress was noted.
Cons: A lot of travelling

My previous employment at EThekwini Municipality was fantastic

On my previous employment I enjoyed working with the company I experienced lot of challenges because I was working different people with different cultures and values but I was able to cope, I worked for 2 years at EThekwini Municipality, now I am not employed, I have learnt that you must not argue with suppliers or customers but you must find the way to solve a particular problem, I was really enjoying my administrative work that I was doing daily , the most challenging aspects of my previous job was taking breakdowns and we didn't have enough Artisans who will attend those breakdowns and customers will have to wait for help for long hour's and I will have to phone them and explain what is happening daily, sometimes customers will get angry and shout at me. In the workplace I was working very well with the staff I am sure they were wishing I should be employed permanent but than it didn't happen my contract for internship expired this year January 2018

Pros: Opportunities
Cons: Little time for lunch break

A learning experience

I am a team player, i enjoy working with different people and in my years at the ethekwini municipality there were no conflict between other employees and myself. Everyday i would come into the work place on time start my work without being told, i woukd see to customers inquiries and resolve them as best as i could. What it has taught me is how deal with people from different backrounds and to listen others peoples problem and empanthise with them.

Pros: a great leaning oppotunity
Cons: not being able to assist restricted by municipal bylaws

New age work force

As one ages you have to work harder and not smarter, workdays are stressful, machinery shortages, work environment not safe, staff are in constant battle to challenge you out of entitlement. My workers great in spite of our difficult times, I am only as good as my leading and getting the best out of them. I have learnt not to be judgemental, I am not better than anyone else we are different that makes us equal, to express our cultures, working together. I enjoy people from all walks of life, I'm humbled by what they share, reminding me that everyone has a role in life. We have choices that we live to fight another day. The promotion is by BEE Females replace males, they can work efficiently and competently., work always there and if I don't do it it won't be done. Get it done is my motto, not waiting on others. staff leave the work gets shared, no replacing of skilled staff. the good workers extra but no renumeration coz seniors get a performance incentive, enough said....

Pros: Secure government perks
Cons: Overtime and long hours early start
