National Treasury Reviews

 

Each day is a learning day.

National Treasury is an open plan platform office where it is a welcoming environment, accessible, friendly and a happy environment. My typical day's work include but not limited to ensuring prudent cash liquidity for national government's commitments and prudent management of government's assets and liabilities. My colleagues are open, welcoming and enthusiastic always willing to assist, teach, learn. The hierarchy of protocol is accessible and always there for me to learn new things. I have learnt that teamwork, commitment, dedication, willingness to learn, meeting deadlines, keenness for new challenges are the ones that helps an individual with self-development and career growth. I enjoy each new daily challenges because challenges test my strength, keep me focused, propels me to achieve my utmost goals. The most challenging part is when I have to convince co-workers with great new ideas for change and they become reluctant to adopt change. I believe in creativity and innovation.

Pros: Great opportunity to learn new things each day.
Cons: none

Great learning curve

My typical day in the office is fairly the same at the same time of the month. I have days that are very busy and few days that i can set aside non urgent matters to attend to. My relationship with co-workers is good. No fights, helping one another when needed and also on a non work basis issues. I have learnt to understand people, to respect who they are and to try hard to accept everyone with their short comings. I enjoy most the days that i am busy than lazy days. I get more tired an frustrated if i don't have enough to do. The most challenging part of my job is that i need to remember all my deadlines and know the differences in all the reports from different stakeholders even though they want more or less the same thing. Missing a deadline is considered non-compliance. As a result, forgetting a deadline means letting down the whole unit.

Pros: When i started, it was a great opportunity for learning
Cons: Now most things are normal and not as challenging anymore

Excellent leaning cuve

Good day on a day to day i deal with queries from suppliers about their outstanding payments to various departments or entities. most of all the aim is to make sure that all that it is owed to the supplier is paid. the purpose of this division is make sure that small business should not bankrupted and close down. on daily basis i lean to be a good communicator in writing and speaking. what i enjoy the most is witnessing a supplier happy with my efforts. the most challenging part is when the supplier expect us to assist as promised and i am unable to do due that the department is not cooperating to the instruction note.

Pros: Healthy environment to work at
Cons: low payment rate for interns via agensies

Great exposure

The organisation allows for great exposure in different industries. Relationship with co-workers is very professional and worthy. Tgere is great work-life balance,especially when you have a ery good relationship with your boss and they understand the dynamics of your life. However, there is limited career growth for a startup.

Pros: Great exposure to different industries
Cons: Limited career growth for a startup

Great place to work at

this was my first experience working at the public sector, and i must say that it was a culture shock. However, I have learnt the practices, where the regulations are made, and how the system function. National Treasury it is quite a high paced environment as compared to other department. I learned to be patient when dealing with issues, as there is long protocol when you have to get approvals. My job is quite interesting as the challenges varies daily and they stretch my capabilities

Pros: Opportunity to learn Public Sector
Cons: it is too far from where i stay. i undermined the distance when i took the offer
