Not exactly what I expected
We go to all the government institutions to do presentations on our discovery funeral cover.its quit difficult to convince people who already have funeral covers with other companies as we are newly established on the funeral department. -we have to atleast sign up two clients per day. -on Fridays we would normally go meet at the office to go and submit our applications for head office. -There is not much of a relationship amongst employees in our department as we are competing against each other.sometimes people will steal your clients. -I have learnt to be self and target driven. -I enjoy meeting new people and working with different people on a day to day basis -What I have found challenging is depending on commission for a salary. Not having a manager or a leader to ask when I have things that I do not understand ,having to figure things out on my own as a new agent.
Pros: Great opportunity to become someone who's able to deal with day to day people
Cons: No basic salary

It's been a great beginners/ enry level job
Discovery is a great company. It just does not have any career opportunities for my field of study which is chemistry The working environment is great. They have a great team of young individuals. Majority of us are appointed on the bases of having Matric. I have been a call centre agent for a while now. The co workers are friendly. A typical day is sitting at my desk with my headphones on and doing my work. My work is target and production based.
Pros: Great working environment
Cons: Not a lot of opportunities for growth

Awesome Auditing
I have been employed at Discovery for the past 17 years and have managed to grow from a call centre agent to an IT Auditor. The role as an IT Auditor is an exciting yet challenging role mainly since the IT Audit team is responsible for auditing all applications across all the Discovery Product Houses. I have performed applications audits, general controls audits, integrated audits with other audit teams as well as the very first software licensing management audit in Discovery. I enjoy most integrated audits as i believe that business and IT objectives need to be aligned and it is in the best interest of the clients when a joined effort is undertaken by the business an IT auditor to provide greater assurance as well as value to its clientele. My passion for auditing overrides any challenge which comes with being a professional and dedicated auditor.
Pros: Great people
Cons: Nepotism

Learning Curve working in a different industry
I worked well with my colleagues , but unfortunately cannot say I have learned more around Test Analysis , but I definitely have a better understanding of the Insurance Industry . What I like the most is the interest from executive management to live healthy and thereby encourage our clients to live healthy. The challenge was the fact that your stakeholders like the Developers,BA's etc still don't understand the importance of a testing team during a Release.
Pros: Working in the most beautiful building in Sandton
Cons: Perception that all Discovery employees earn big salaries
