Being at Old Mutual was an amazing experience
I see myself in the industry for the next 10-20 years. Aswelll leading a great team in a senior management position. The experience and skills iv learnt has empowered me to prove myself and always be the best at whatever I do
Pros: The company is huge and if you work hard and prove yourself there's opportunities to step up and grow. I also like the fact that they encourage you to study as I'm currently a part-time Bcom student at Uwc
Cons: I did not enjoy driving around all day having to see clients and then clients end up cancelling after driving 50 Kms to see them

The most challenging aspect of the job is getting lapses on policies iv sold and therefore dealing with claw backs.
Pros: great growth opportunity
Cons: paid on commission only

Interacting with clients, Decision Making skills,
I work flexi hours between 7.15-9.15 One works has to investigate on average on 7 cases day. Part of the investigation includes checking all the relevant systems: The value of the claim, entry date, the members portfolio. Go through documents such as Last Will, forms. Contact various family members to acquire outstanding information. Taking into consideration all the relevant information recommend an allocation to the legal and factual dependents.Handle incoming calls , emails regards claims. Challenging aspect of the role is when the family refuses to cooperate. This results when the deceased member had different unit families. The other difficult aspect is explaining to the parties how pension fund act work when they listed as beneficiaries. Apart from the daily job I am part o the EE committee where I get to represent my co-workers with any job related barriers. I enjoy working with people.
Pros: Great expose as a graduate entry the corporate world.
Cons: No job secuirty

Need to know if my company is loyal to me
I do cold calling on a daily basis then if I'm lucky I book an appointment with a client. Then I have to drive to the client using my own car and petrol. And the sad part is that if I don't reach my target for the month then it means I'm not getting any salary for the month.
Pros: When you submit alot of business for the month and reach your target then you get the conditional basic salary plus the commission
Cons: But if it happens that you don't reach your target for the month then you will not get any salary for the month
