.

I work for an excellent company, i think it is one of the best companies to work for in South Africa. There are different learning on a day to day basis. My colleagues are of different race which for me is another learning because it enabled me to understand their culture as well as their methods of doing things, in my opinion no department is always smooth sailing, we have our differences now and again but we find ways to solve it and to maintain a good working environment.

Pros: The advantages of this position is that we have a chance to make positive change within the organization as well changing the mind set of employee's day by day. We go out and look for unsafe acts or behavior, identify risks and hazards making the working environment safer for our people. Making or having a positive impact on our people is a pro for me as it allows them a safe working mentality.
Cons: Personally for me the cons would be as mentioned in the pros the mindset of our employee's. Some employees think that because they have more work experience and have been doing a specific duty for a long period that is it safe, which in most cases is not true. People do not understand that the working environment keeps changing and enhancing which means our employees need to be trained more especially on the ground, it becomes a challenge to try and explain to them the safety side of it, some of our employees are willing to change and some are not, that is one of the cons in my situation, but day by day we will have to some how change that.

Good learning environment

I start work 15minutes before to analyze the work for the day and plan. I communicate with co-workers about the expectation from senior management and customers. I have a good relationship with co-workers and as well they have good relation with me. I have learnt a lot in terms of communication, leadership, reporting and presentation skills to mention a few. My challenging moments is when we have challenges in reaching the expected target and need to report to customers and senior management. The good moments is when we are ahead of target allocated to us by both management and satisfying the customers.

Pros: Oppotunities of promotion are available.
Cons: Longer working hours and working under pressure.
