Good learning curve
I have learnt a lot about its corporate culture from the time I was still an intern to when I got my permanent position. The problem is that even after I have gathered the experience and an opportunity for growth arise, they always consider external people first leaving their staff members less motivated. It is better to leave for a while after your internship and then come back later.
Pros: Great Exposure
Cons: slow/no growth

Atmosphere for learning and growth
My typical days at work consist of aligning procurement objectives with organizational ones. Finding opportunities for sustainable savings without compromising on quality. Managing relationship with internal clients and key suppliers. Strategising the commodity. Encouraging fair and competitive biding. On certain tenders I try to get my colleagues opinion prior to presenting it to the Tender Committee and avail myself when my assistance is needed. In procurement I have learned to be vigilant, to follow processes and to ask questions in order to procure the correct services. I enjoy appointing suppliers which carry our brand as their own. The challenge is satisfying internal client at all times by demonstrating that procurement is a responsible role which makes the organisation compliant and encourages innovation and spending shareholder money responsibly.
Pros: Great opportunity for learning and leading buyers by example.
Cons: Simplifying the scope of work.
