Unclaimed Benefit Consultant
Unclaimed Benefit consultant working at Metropolitan - Basically I on a daily basis trace clients who either is not aware they qualify for a claim or there claim might be outstanding. Death claims currently I am working on a project of +- R30 000000.00. We have a very positive team a skilled team and one would say we like family my day starts at 07:30 and ends at 15:30. I work the moment I log on I am looking for something new to upgrade my skills and knowledge. The main reason for me looking for other employment is purely based on the fact that I stay in the Southern Suburbs but my work place is in the Northern and travelling becomes rather costly
Pros: Knowledge of claims , Family enviroment , Team Work is great , the fact that once you trace clients you make can actually feel how they appreciate the fact that they receiving money there were not expecting , medical aid , the pay is good can be better but reasonable , the hours are great
Cons: Hardly get leave alwasy busy

Excellent learning curve
The 3 years I have worked in the company has helped me a lot to be able to work as a team. Working with a big number of people and deferent back ground and culture has help me a lot to understand deferent people and taught me other languages. The relationship I have with my co workers is very good, as I ask them when I don't know something and I am able to pass the experience I have to the newly employed. There are some challenges like the client would come and shout about being given the wrong type of policy he/she did not want by some the consultants, maybe because the consultant did not do a proper needs analysis or misinterpreted what the client wants. So in this instance you need to take the full blame as you try to assist the client, apologies and rectify the mistake.
Pros: Promotions and gifts as motivations
Cons: longer working hours

Metropolitan afforded me the opportunity to grow in an HR environment.
Metropolitan is an excellent company to work for. The opportunity to grow and learn was always presented to the employees. Metropolitan prides itself for its excellent employee benefits. The main reason people stay long at Metropolitan is for its culture. The salary offers and the excellent working environment. In the Metropolitan employees have ample opportunity to prioritize family and work.
Pros: Great learning opportunity
Cons: No opportunity for growth, eg promotions to other positions.

Good learning curve
I am working on my self made schedule as like I am my own boss, I learnt that in life you must be patient in order to become something in future. the most challenging part is to always wake up in the morning and find out were to get your market. what I enjoy the most is that no one is behind my back to check if I am working or not, I used to set my own standard of working.
Pros: Great place to grow
Cons: set your own hours of work a day

It was good to work at Metropolitan
It was good but i needed to look for green pastures. My Co-worker was supporting and we used to do things together. Assiting each other to reach our goal. Our previous nanager used to tell us to work hard because if you are not earn your husband will ask u what we you doing for the hole month.
Pros: I was at the committee of Laps report where we assist our colleagues by contacting their client to pay be for policy lapsed. we check missed payment for them ,send sms 's to their clients to stop laps.
Cons: we used to go to clients outside our region with our boss to look for new and old client. Assist our clients with problems they have with our product.

I still need to learn more and have expirience in the banking sector.
it is very hard to look for clients and convince them to join your company insurance policy. it is a good learning curve as you deal with difficult people on a daily basic and in that instance you have to know how to deal with an angry client. people will cross question you about your product and why you think is the best one. sometimes you will go out there you wont be able to find a single client which will affect your day, but I don't let challenges like this to stand in my way I know tomorrow is another day I have to be positive. I work well with my co-worker I also enjoy working in a positive team or winning team . the most challenging thing about my job is when you don't get clients your salary for that month wont look good. so you have to know that if you don't perfume good this will affect your team and your management that is why I learn to work hard and stay positive in life.
Pros: its hard to tell but as a hard worker i aim to be a manager or team leader one day.
Cons: i work unsupervised which add a lot of prejure and i dont work lot of hours.

Good working environment
It's a good working environment, you work at your own pace and time. You can either work from home or the office, as long as you can reach your monthly target. So i want a job that i can report to every day and a productive job. Manager's are friendly, they encourage us and congratulate us if we have met our target. It's a stressful job, especially when it's towards business closing day. I have learned on how to handle pressure and on how to hunt for clients.
Pros: Great opportunity for promotion
Cons: Work at your pace
