Excellent place to learn and grow
I love working with people and find that building lasting relationships makes the work place somewhere you want to go everyday. Some managers believe in the concept of managing outputs and not time, but that is very rare in the current environment. So typically time sheets are filled in daily you could end up clock watching rather that being productive in the hours you are at work. The challenges are finding a work-life balance as well as dealing with the political nature of our business, but that can also teach a person who is willing to learn from every situation.
Pros: Exposure to various aspects of business, not confined to the area you work in
Cons: Development and Growth limitations

Dealing with complexity
A typical work day is to navigate a complex work environment given the organisational context which is constantly changing and uncertain. I build three important elements in a relationship - mutual trust, respect and freedom of expression. I enjoy it when my work is meaningful, I am making a positive contribution, continuously improvement and having fun at work. I have learnt not to take myself too seriously, rule number six of Ben Zander in his book, 'The art of possibilities". The most challenging aspects of the job is that several barriers are created because of the political nature of a SOC.
Pros: Great opportunities to learn and discover more about self and others
Cons: Decision Making is extremely slow, especially when the business need requires improvement such as system or process change.

It alot
A typical workday involves the delegation of problems which have come up within the plant (Maintainance) and the documentation of engineering changes and modifications. What I enjoy is the exposure to something different and a large industry along with its management protocols. The hardest part is not seeing a direct impact of your efforts as the company is so large.
Pros: n/a
Cons: n/a
