. I Junior Analyst, I have experience in testing industry.
First time i arrive at Sappi i met friendly people at sappi who are very much devoted in teaching students to what they have to learn as soon as possible.during my training i have learnt how to analyse sugars from wood pulp using HPLC equipment were we were trying to quantify the amount of monosaccarides in pulp .I have also learn hoe to test water looking at the following parameters,Ph, conductivity, COD,and also cations using ICP ,it was such a pleasure to learn such kind of experiments. I enjoyed working in the laboratory it kept me from thinking about outside problems and also chaotic problems at work with some co- workers. The challenge that i have experience is when i have to present on what i have been working on ,on a certain month i found it so hard such that i even fake that i was sick because i felt so intimidated
Pros: none
Cons: 11 hours a day

Good experience
I have spent the last five years learning many different skills. A typical workday consists of multidisciplinary team meetings to discuss the days activities and coordinate interdepartmental activities. It then moves on to a departmental meeting followed by getting on with individual work. The people at the mill are friendly and work well together for the most part. I have learnt how a business functions at different levels. I have learnt the main factors that influence whether a business is profitable and how alignment of employess with company values, goals and objectives is key to this success. I enjoy the type of people that I work with. The conpany hires good people for the most part. People who contribute positively. The most challenging aspect is integrating the knowledge learnt during undergraduate studies into the real world while learning to manage people; which is no doubt one of the most difficult things to get right.
Pros: Good oppurtunity to learn, Good pay, Company is profitable
Cons: No overtime, or time off for certain staff grades
