Excellent learning curve in a different sector
Less and less specialist construction work in these difficult economic times and in a very top heavy management and very autocratic management style made for a very unpleasant working environment. Relationships with co-workers remained very good. The most challenging aspect of the job at the time of leaving was dealing with the stress of dealing with mood swings of senior management. Coming from a corporate environment I have learnt different costing / project management / procurement / researching skills.
Pros: The challenge of the bigger contracts
Cons: Little if no chance for advancement

Great job satisfaction
My work was never finished. My company provides a 24/7/365 day service. Interacting with staff and clients provides me with a pulse from which I assess the status quo. My staff understand that I demonstrate respect towards everyone, they also understand that I do not tolerate poor discipline and tardiness. They know I expect to find in staff the common honesty and integrity of men of business, some exposure of the qualities of worthiness of the esteem I freely offer and/or respect that I expect them to display towards clients and peers alike. The downside to this job is dealing with, 'failing to prevent damage and/or injury to staff and clients and/or their property'. That is really 'facing the music'.
Pros: The joy of a job well done.
Cons: Overseeing the perpetual fight against increasing crime.

Working with people from all levels, problem solving and unity. Development of a new culture.
My greatest ability is people management, recruitment, onboarding etc . I was able to establish a new Company culture which resulted in the employees resigning from the unions, and ring-fenced company from the outside world and all worked together as one team in the best interest of the Company and therefore the total compliment together. I enjoy an outstanding rapport with all co-workers and seen as a friend and father figure. Replaced the Shop Steward meetings with my own form of collective communication which involved all. Challenged to encourage staff and Management to change their attitude of a Them and Us to a we together. Loved doing it and it is my legacy.
Pros: I am a fit active, healthy person who has years to impart my knowledge to the next generation.
Cons: I work a 12 hour day

Excellent learning curve
I usually started my work at 7:30 am collaboratively plan my day, make sure that the most urgent work gets done first.l had a good relationship with you co-workers,l felt contented and motivated when working at the office and eventually led to improved my performance and increased productivity. However, building a healthy relationship with my co-workers was not easy as it sounds.As a team often consists of people with different and sometimes even conflicting characters,l have to work on finding the right way to handle and communicate with them.l have learned to developed skills and capabilities.Working in an environment of strict deadlines taught me how to be self disciplined.l enjoyed most because my job had a wide variety of apportunities.The most challenging aspect l dealt with special cases from the office of the CEO .l had to resolved before close of business.
Pros: There's was apportunity for promotion
Cons: No working long hours
