Under utilised
A typical day at the office is just ok. No opportunities to learn new things. Innovation is not encouraged. The environment is not healthy for someone who wants his skills to be utilised to the fullest.
Pros: Good work life balance
Cons: Too limited opportunities for promotion

Perfect learning curve
It’s a great environment to take off your career as chemistry graduate with great exposure to the lab surrounding and basic lab responsibilities. Preparing of solutions for students and demonstrating experiments were key responsibilities which also included operating instruments like AA, UV, GC & IR spectroscopy. I haven’t to say it’s angrea learning curve and it grew me so much that I’m seeing the lab environment differently and confidently and I’m definitely ready to tackle bigger responsibilities at a different industry.
Pros: Great opportunity for learning the lab environment
Cons: Nothing at all

Pushing performance and loading more work, without any incentives
The University of Pretoria exploit their employees and they do not pay as they suppose to pay. They just expect everyone just to work work work and not think about the employee. E.g. the administrators are overload with work. Two major functions were dumped on the administrators that are already overload with no explanation or any further communication. With these two new functions the administrators are suppose to climb the position level with at least one level. Then you ask yourself what is the people doing that was previously doing this functions. How do their job descriptions look like. Even the cleaners are overloaded with one person doing another persons work and his or own for more than six weeks and the supervisors are just saying they don't know.
Pros: Closing in December for about two weeks without one putting in leave
Cons: Overworked employees with low pay and average benefits

A beautifully diverse environment for growth
Beautifully diverse environment for growth in both cultural and intellectual terms. I like the e-learning environment. Doing outreach to schools or present to schools at various exhibitions has further enhanced my ability to work in teams and reach out to those in need of the information to make critical decisions regarding their careers. The outreach teams are so diverse in race, culture and geographic location that one always looks forward to meeting people from different countries.
Pros: Great opportunity for international networks
Cons: quite demanding in terms of time yet less commensurate compensation
