My experience at City of Joburg
A typical work day is never the same. Work processes are haphazard as processes are not fully streamlined. Working with politicians come with major pressure and can be challenging as one has to deal with groups with competing expectations. My relationship with co-workers was cordial as I always try to maintain a professional distance. I learnt to deal with different personalities and it has enhanced my overall work experience as I now have experience having worked in the Private and the Public sector. I believe that I am a seasoned and well rounded Company secretary as politicians often display their ego which one must often deal with . I enjoy working with By-Law implementation and anything to do with procedures and Compliance related issues. The most challenging aspect of my job, is Public engagement as we get to deal directly with the Public whenever we need to consult the Public on issues which are topical or emotive at a particular time.
Pros: Great opportunity for studying and self-development
Cons: Upward mobility is difficult, given that it is a Political environment

All in all it is a great organisation and it needs one to be open minded.
it's a great company as the chances of being retrenched are very slim,and it pays 60% for your medical aid.there's vast different department to move to in an organisation but it is manipulated by nepotism and bribery(jobs for money) ,although it over-flock with customers during cut-off i feel municipality does not emphasize on customer service, the moral of the staff is very low as the organisation is too politicized and who ever is on the helm want's to bring in changes just to show-off their political organisation muscles at the end staff members suffers as changes is the order of the day even if it is unnecessary.
Pros: secure employment
Cons: too politisied
