My work experience
A typical work day involves planning and doing quality management duties according to schedule. Ensuring that co-workers abide to schedule. Ensuring that documents are issued and revised. Training on quality management. I interact with colleagues on a day to day basis regarding their specific needs per laboratory..eg. Root Cause Analysis, Customer communications, document review and issue..etc I have learnt how to work with different types and characters of people. I enjoy training of colleagues on QMS and doing Root Cause Analysis because that is the only time I have to hear the views of colleagues towards quality and ideas to help solve the problem at hand. Challenges includes when people do not understand your training or do not want to comply to the QMS requirements.
Pros: Great opportunity for studying
Cons: No growth in current position

Good working company
I worked very well with the company and i have learned alot from the company like how to co-operate..how to work in group and how to gain an experience mostly. The company was doing great with us even though we were lacking this and that but stoop up for the company until the contract was terminated...i worked very well with the co-workers till to the end of contract. I enjoyed a lot because i have an experience now because of that company and i even learned how to work surrounded by people or with people in fact The most challenging part of that job is that people are hard hearded but i tried my level best to do the best job which i came for
Pros: I never been promoted because it was a contract which we did in rural area

Experience of note
-We have 11 different institutes that report and submit everything to Central office for finalizing thus we have to invoice and process payments for 11 different campuses. -I have gained a lot of exposure and experience as to how the Creditors Department works with always meeting my deadlines and providing precise yet done with diligence work. -We work as a unit and work has always been delivered and I got to work with our CFO that was one of my highlights as to when I was still an intern. -We closed off submission for any payments every month in the 20th so that we have sufficient time till month end.
Pros: - I got offered a contract as an impression of my work.
Cons: Long hours but not enough time for the amount of work because of understaffed

Good Learning environment
Excellent environment for gaining work experience. Challenging work activities. The area/location is very serene and away from the city bustle. There was a lot to learn as have worked in all the divisions within the company. Worked my way up but very slowly. No growth opportunity and the are no perks even for great work done. Disappointing when it comes to growth.
Pros: Experience gained and travelling around the country
Cons: No growth and good incentives

Happy to work and like the environment
Its a very good research company with friendly faces and welcoming people. The company balances work and life style. Academic development well structured. The nature of the job is mostly office work. As the only buyer for the institute, I spend most of the day acquiring quotes and buying research equipment, research consumables and maintenance of the institute. . The company has given me the opportunity to grow as an individual. Mostly it working closely with suppliers which has helped me improve communication and presentation skills.
Pros: great for furthering your studies
Cons: No promotions, lack of transport to the institute, no benefits, not enough challenges
