Development, Good company culture

We are a remote campus, based in Port Elizabeth, we have around 200 students and staff work closely together with each other. We have excellent relationships, everybody always willing to assist where they can. A typical work day- most staff start at 08h00, I have an academic support class with first year students, after class i'll be attending meetings , doing some filing, dealing with student queries if any arise, printing of transcripts. I've grown tremendously within the company, my managers have trust in me they are the ones who saw potential in me, by making me run training and induction with all new students, I have a really strong bond with our students.

Pros: Close working relationships
Cons: Salary

Technology enhanced learning

I am a course developer and spend a lot of time developing curriculum and learning activities enhanced by technology. It takes years of experience to develop this skill. Classes are the easy part, there's so much going on behind the scenes that people don't know about. One of the difficulties is the entitlement of some students who believe that because their fees are paid, their education should be 'given' to them.

Pros: Making a difference, academic holidays
Cons: Always working

Gained so much experience in customer service, and dealing with students directly.

I have gained a lot of experience in the higher education system. Having to work with students on a daily and dealing with their queries. Relationships with co-workers was good when i started but not so good anymore. I have learned how to take the lead, communication skills, I have definitely gained.

Pros: Opportunity for growth
Cons: Having to double-hat two different roles at a time without compensation or getting back overtime hours

Terrible learning curve

The company does not value its employees, the only thing they care about is making money. Sometimes salaries are late, like a week late. A typical work day is coming in at 8am and dealing with students and knocking off at 17;00. Co-workers are really cool to work with, it is only the managers that are a problem as complaints are not taken serious, you are not giving resources to do your work, you just have to make the best out of nothing.

Pros: Great facilities
Cons: No opportunity for growth

Hard working and loyal employee

hard working and loyal employee with great lecturing and communication skills. Enjoy helping others and selfless attitude. I've worked with Andries for 2 years and he is a hard-working, capable, conscientious and dependable educator, who always walk the extra mile for his students. He is a dynamic and very sociable/likable person. I can wholeheartedly recommend him for any position within the field of Higher Education.

Excellent working environment

I enjoy working in a meeting with minimal supervision. I also enjoy closing deals as it's my day to day job, I also have strong discipline in sales and marketing, I also enjoy multitasking as I work with various departments. I have a desire to learn all the times which I do make mistakes but I learn from them and not make the same mistake repeatedly. I have great working experience with the team which we motivate each other to work hard and learn from each others mistakes and encourage the team on how to handle the pressure of the job.

Pros: Great working environment
Cons: lack of promotions
