I was employed by Absa bank 10-15years ago, I resign because I wanted to start my own company, but now my company is not doing well. So am looking for employment, my duties at Absa bank where Marketing, open the new account, preparing will for clients, preparing investment documents, and writing policy's for clients, every morning I use to go to the tellers to fetch the leads for the day, handle diary, answering phone, processing claims for clients, and admin. It was a happy and exciting environment we where working hand in hand with my core worker's. I learn how to communicate with people and respect one another. When we meet our target, the challenging expects was to meet deadline and load the information on the system as quickly as you can.
Pros: Yes ended
Cons: 8h to 16h

Excellent learning curve
Great company to work for, enjoyed the training workshops. Only downside was that I worked their for 4 years as a fixed term contractor. Salary is reasonable, but management was the problem for me. Team leaders were at times unprofessional and favoured certain people.
Pros: Salary
Cons: Poor management

Working at absa is an excellent place to learn and grow.
For the past 12 months I have been working in an Agile Scrum Team where my core skill has also been that of developer. Collaborating with Product Owners and other stakeholders. Working in an environment doing maintenance and new development in a system using a mixture of JCL, Easytrieve and Hogan COBOL Languages for the RBB Card division In Absa (Issuing team, back-end mainframe), where I was based. Emphasis was placed on, during testing, documenting that every line of code was tested. Part of the testing process was to prepare data and test data for 'testing unit' where a second developer followed the same test plan as the original developer, but overall look for bugs and test every part to ensure valid code going into system, in an effort to enhance quality control. I have found this to be critical in to understanding how we as a team are progressing with our Sprint Goal as well as understand and mitigate what is standing in our way of not achieving that Goal.
Pros: big on learning and innovation.
Cons: none

Very diverse do/Embrace different cultures
Overalls a good company to work for. Great opportunities to grow and learn although tellers earn too little for the amount of pressure due to insufficient staff. There’s always intranet training available, so one never feels left behind because you constantly learn and learn new things and ways to improve service.
Pros: Opportunity to study/ promotion
Cons: Understaffed
