It will be a great learning curve in a different sector I have never been exposed to before.
It was a totally new environment when I first joined. It's bigger that what I was used to. There was a lot of exciting things to learn and the company is involved in different products you cannot even think of when you are outside of it. In my experience I get to interact with different internal customers and try and solve some of their learning as well as health and safety (since it's in our space) related queries. I liaise with the line managers of different divisions on matters related to the STIs (short term incentives) they are responsible for. Because of being responsible to work with the STI dashboard, I have managed to build relationships with the different stakeholders that i collect the information from for my monthly reporting.
Pros: It is a great organisation to work for, it allows a person to learn so much from one organisation with different functions.
Cons: It's a long distance from my house to work

Love work it's my way of life
Daily basis morning meetings, we discussed everything from yesterday, safety concerns what we can improve on to make our lives easer and safer before the close of the meeting we would watch a Video to lighten the mood and few laugher. Then everyone has to go to there area fro morning inspection it's a petro chemical plant how you left the plant yesterday might be different today. Then coffee break for 15min with all everyone at the same time then share laughers its just a fun environment no issues with anyone. It's close relationship, learnt how important it is to have a good working relationship with my co-workers it makes it delightful to come to work everyday plus doing what you love in a healthy environment. Start up of the plant after shutdown five weeks of 7-19hrs everyday plus weekends and the plants starts giving problems meaning more money is being lost then made but yes problem are always solved
Pros: Good working ethics
Cons: 12 for 5 weeks only one day off
