Excellent exposure to varying global management cultures.

My company provides an exciting mix of conservative business models vs innovative thinking in a very old industry, with diverse management cultures across the globe. It is exciting to be part of solution development across 1st world and developing geographies while dealing with generational, digital and other developments across our entity. It also demonstrates the dangers of trying to standardise a big organisation with a diverse client base without understanding the unintended consequences that this can cause.

Pros: Great opportunity to enhance top level leadership skills
Cons: Extremely taxing on health

Determination

A typical day at The office for me includes getting coffee first thing in the morning saying hello to everyone, seeing if everyone is doing well. Then I start on my day.I don’t believe I experience that many challenges in such a way I mean dealing with clients who owe money that is challenging but then yet I love problem solving so to solve something is always an exciting challenge

Pros: Room for growth and a bonus
Cons: Not getting a bonus

My workday includes being split in 2 teams.

My Accounting role is client servicing while my consultant job is client facingI'm Accounting, we manage the accounts as well as the bank accounts of the clients. We are responsible for payments, journal processing, VAT and bank recons. We raise and receive the Acounts receivables and do the tax computations. My Consulting job involves renewing existing contingency policies as well as acquiring new business. We also attend to client needs on a day to day. I have a tight knit team and we work together on a buddy system. I love the corporation in my team. It's pretty challenging being split in two teams

Pros: Collaboration
Cons: Not a great opportunity for promotion

The Early Bird catches the worm

A typical day in the life of Zakir, general starts early, very early. I guess I learnt a person who takes the earliest opportunity to do something will gain an advantage over others. With coffee in hand, I peruse through my emails and check for any urgent attention.- A few sips down and into the swing of handling those I NEED TO GET DONE NOW emails. I greet my colleagues, offer them lunch, yes I eat my lunch in the morning. We discuss our day, adhoc meeting. Every single tasks I have to complete; visiting clients to discuss Renewals, handling claims, adding on that new BMW for Mr Chetty. Checking if Mr Wietz received the policy schedule I just sent him. Every tasks has a common thread and that is energy and enthusiasm channeled towards a single goal :Building exceptional relationships with clients and colleagues. Have a super NEW YEAR. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my cover letter and resume. ....

Pros: Learning Opportunities, colleagues, Marsh clients

Great Learning Experience and Exposure to Growth.

Being with Marsh has really been an eye opener on how the industry works altogether. I now can perform Brokers duty with no supervision in certain things. I've learned a lot and I've grown to a better person since joining the industry and I'm still willing to grow more. I am able to put the need of a client before mine and it makes me so happy to see the client delighted with the work that I've done for them. It's been a good experience as it allows one to learn to operate with more than one characters of individual.

Pros: opportunity for growth
Cons: lack of development

Learning Curve

A typical work day at Marsh is always very busy, never a dull moment. The company is large but we are all "family", because I train a lot of the colleagues to work on a program, I am exposed to very many people within the company and surrounds. I am always greeted in a friendly way by all and I believe I have a great relationship with them. I have learnt "Not to sweat the small stuff", it makes life a whole lot easier to manage and also to trust your instincts. I enjoy training and troubleshooting with my colleagues. I like to work in a team. the most challenging aspects are making sure the figures that I receive and work with are returned accurately. I work with 7 other African countries and the language barrier can be an issue at times.

Pros: Flexi hours
Cons: Long working hours
