Alot of work work, salary not worth work however rewarding to see others grow and succeed
I enjoy working with people, and I have a very good working relationship with both the staff and management teams in both the Western Cape an my current Gauteng Province. I enjoy assisting staff to grow and go beyond their the companies expectation whether internal or moving into other positions outside Seda. I have learnt to have a lot of patience and endurance and to continue to motivate others even though I am not sometimes motivated. My job encompass a lot of deadlines, with no support staff, you practically work alone covering the full HR Management function. But, I enjoy what I do, that's why I chose this career.
Pros: Supporting and serivicing business and to see their growth is rewarding, because it contributes to the growth of our economy and lifts poverty to a certain extend
Cons: no promotional opportunities due to no succession planning and career pathing

Passion for small business development is what will sustain you in the sector hence I have stayed more than 12 years.

Excellent learning curve
I appreciate everything that this organisation did for me as i started as a IT Technician and now i am a IT Specialist, i have learnt a lot from technical skills, people management skills, and other IT related stuff like Procurement, Hardware, Software and networking. I enjoy what i am doing and i like the fact that i have confidence than when i first joined the organisation. The only thing that i see as a challenge is me not getting more exposure than the current one, i need something more challenging and different from what i have learned in the previous years of my career. The relationship with my team and my clients(Users) is perfect as i have my own way of ensuring a good relationship between me my clients and other stake holders.
Pros: Great opportunity to learn at lot of things
Cons: limited exposure
