Being Part of a startup company
Day start with staff meeting where a project plan per delivery is looked at to see if we still on track in terms of deliveries and a plan going forward, high level meetings will follow this where the work flow is discussed in terms of whats coming and what is getting delivered at the soonest dates. Relationship with co-workers is more on the family level since i was one the managers appointed to establish Gauteng branch, I have learned people management and to work and deliver under tremendous pressure. a lot of our staff members are kinda new on the telecommunication fibre build business and having mentored 19 students and seeing them all get contracts from the company was priceless for me. I could say transferring information to the up and coming youngsters is more fulfilling. The most challenging is managing contractors and meeting delivery dates which will then translate into happy clients, However it is great to close a project.
Pros: More growth with in the company
Cons: Uncooperating team

Excellent learning programme, structured well and maintained positively
It is a neat company on a regular day i have to deal with queries from staff and sort that out , i'm in a office with only two HR Administrators. my relationship with my co workers is close i enjoy tea time most we have a lady coming in selling scones, who ever sees her first gets to shout out shes here. I have learnt that my position HR requires someone who is down to earth and who knows the importance of confidentiality, with salaries and what employees go through in their individual roles , what i enjoy the most is payroll i believe the counting and calculating,challenging aspects are industrial relations .
Pros: Promotion yes
Cons: challenging staff who do not understand the regulations and policies
