Protea Chemicals Reviews

 

Customer Services Representative

My daily tasks included cold calling, processing orders, ordering stock from other branches, and keeping in contact with my customers. I work alongside 3 fellow team mates and have an excellent relationship. What I have embraced about this opportunity is the fact that I get to work in a sales environment without any prior experience . It is however challenging but am willing to learn everyday. I love and enjoy dealing with customers on a daily basis telephonically or face to face. The most challenging part about my job is cold calling, most times I would have to chat to someone I have never even spoken to before but strive on nonetheless.

Pros: Customer Interaction
Cons: Job insecurity

Good work environment and experience gained

Protea was a lovely company, I worked there for 16 years with broken service. We had an incident on site, management changed and there was a lot of uncertainty, I was not happy and resigned.

Pros: Great working hours and awesome team
Cons: Limited promotion and opportunity to grow

I started off in Admin and have grown over the years and have learnt allot from the company.

I started off in Admin and have grown over the years and have learnt allot from the company. People culture is a bit complex. It can be a bit overwhelming for new starters. I do no think that the salaries are market related. Good employees do not get recognition.

Pros: Good opportunities
Cons: Bias when it comes to promotions
