Stanlib Reviews

 

Excellent introduction to the working world.

We worked in an investment environment with batch run daily. Our day consists of deadlines and fast response times. I had a very good relationship with my team and it was my job to motivate and direct them daily. I have learned that consistency and efficiency beat sudden bursts of energy, I have learned it is better to work for the collective success than individual recognition. I set the tone for the rest of the team and have to carry myself in a way that allows others to emulate, you lead by example and not dictatorship. Do not expect a standard from your team that you yourself cannot maintain. The most challenging aspect was when we could not assist a client to their satisfaction, this may be due to rules governing the processing of certain transactions to market movements.

Pros: great learning space
Cons: work management

New challenge

I have joined the company in June 2006 as part of their learnership programme which took a year, between 2006 and 2007 I got a lot of training with different departments at STANLIB and then in November 2007 I got a temporary position for 6 months but after 3 months I got a permanent position as creditors clerk, I also enhanced my knowledge & skills learning other processes within my department, SAP, Standard bank business online, foreign and local creditors. My personal values are integrity, respect and accountability. I believe in empowering myself and encouraging others to do the same. It is through these qualities, the experience and skills that I possess; that will help me perform above and beyond what is expected in any industry. This is what makes me go an extra mile in meeting our customer/supplier promise.

Pros: new challenge
Cons: overtime and weekwnds

My work at STANLIB is a typical work day.

What I enjoyed most was my interaction with other departments with a view to learn and gain experience from them. I enjoyed a lot of interaction within my team members and peers in exchanging ideas and assisting each other with the work flow. The most challenging part of my job was when you don't get enough time with the immediate manager due to meetings and travels, so work would pend and cause a delay for the clients' needs to be addressed. My relationship with co-workers was mutual, very helpful, and cooperative.

Pros: STANLIB has great opportunity for promotion
Cons: Long hours have never been my serious concern. I am able to work for long hours

Striving to be the best

The company has been in a transition phase for a few years now and the aim is to be a leader in the industry. This means that there is constant change and the environment is for continuous improvement with various projects to get this going. The leadership lives this vision and it is cascaded down. Drawbacks of this organisation is that there are too many levels of management and in some teams this vision gets diluted. The staff are keen to be working here and are generally optimistic about the future of the organisation.

Pros: Large corporate with lots of internal opportunities
Cons: Too many layers of management
