A new experience
A typical day at Parmalat in my position as Assistant Accountant includes checking and signing off on creditors payments. I also follow up with vendors on all outstanding invoices. I also prepare the budget files for all the managers of the different departments. I am also responsible for handling the Assets and keeping a Work in progress file for all the projects on site. During month end I am responsible for balancing of the Intercompany accounts and all the ledger entries. I also assists with stocktake on month end. I also monitor all expenses against the budget and if it is allocated to the right vote and department.
Pros: Great learning curve
Cons: Not much growing

My review
I am currently working straight shift even though sometimes I have to change shifts depending on operational requirements. I try to give staff off during the week on the days when the production volume isn't high to avoid going to overtime.
Pros: The fact that the company gave me an opportunity of being in the position as this is my first experience in the title of Production Manager.
Cons: Work on weekends when i am doing standby duties

This would be an excellent learning curve for me as this will be what i have always wanted to do.
Working at my current employee is very interesting as I am learning a lot and working with a wide range of different cultures and diverse people. I have learned not to be too judgmental at work and to focus on my job, to have a listening understanding with co-workers and not be too friendly. What I enjoy most is having to work with a wide range of divers people and learn a lot about the different cultures. The most challenging aspect in this position is to be able to solve problems and to be spot on with the work that you are doing as you are receiving the paperwork from downstream.
Pros: Great Learning curve
Cons: No oppurtunity for promotion
