The company gave me a chance to gain experience.

The company offers opportunity to young people to gain experience and further their studies. It offers no growth opportunities to those looking to expand or build their careers. There is no succession planning of any sort done by the company. Compensation is not fair and salary increments are nor fairly given to people according to performance. No appreciation is shown for going the extra mile in one's position.

Pros: Flexible working hours
Cons: No growth oppotunities, poor compensation

Learning Curve

Finding out what the defect is, liaising with the supplier to alert them of the defect, raising the G8d for the problem and where needed, assist on soling the problem with the supplier. I have learnt that there are always different ways to look at problems for solving them. A think out of the box attitude. I love working hands on in the production area - although the feeling of having accomplished an improvement with developing suppliers - makes me want to do it more too. The most challenging part of the job, was convincing some supplier owners of the companies to get ISO in place within their companies even if they could not afford to get certified to ISO.

Pros: Close to all the people from operators , to managers to peers
Cons: Long working hours, I have a 3 year old girl and I have full custody and responsibility for her
