Smollan Group Reviews

 

Good company

Its well structured company, it cares for it employees as they provide lunch and eats. The company benefits are good. It's the kind of company that takes employees as family, I have learned a lot of skills as I moved from post to post with new duties and resposibilities, our team was chain team and we were encouraged to swap job descriptions to be able to function as a team and not fall behind if one co-worker is upsent. The culture of the company is family oriented. I enjoyed the team activities we had as especially when we have meetings everyone gets a chance to chair meetings or write minutes so it exposed us to be proactive.

Pros: Exposure to gain experiance
Cons: Long hours due to lunch duties

Excellent learning curve, Learned alot of 3rd party payments and full payroll function

The payroll department at Smollan Group is extremely busy. We have 24 000 employees that needs to be paid on a monthly basis. We are responsible for loading all payroll input (new engagements, terminations, death claims, salary advances, medical aid, pension fund, garnishees, update personal details, completing UI 19 for terminations and maternity leave, capture leave, assist with salary queries. There after it is time to print payslips and to start with month end payments (3rd party payments). My relationship with my co-workers is excellent. We all get along with each other and work together as one big team. I have learned a lot at Smollan Group - doing 3rd party payments, uploading bank files, do full function payrolls (Foreign and SA). What I enjoyed most was when I was acting supervisor - checking all banking details, uploading bank files, etc.

Pros: Great oppurtunity to learn alot about payroll. The payroll manager look well after all hardworking staff . You get alot of support from management.
Cons: Long working hours when new procedures come into place

I think the company has not come to Excellency

Working in this company is challenging but good at the same time. Dealing with customers everyday learning new dimensions in sales and marketing industry Having a good relationship with co-workers The power of communication between call centers, deliveries and managers. The most challenging part is to estimate on orders and how much customers are to buy your stock you work with that powerful sober mind.

Pros: Just by that time promotions do come but not like almost every year
Cons: Sometimes we do work long hours though that does not pay for us

Long life learner

I am respectful and honest individual of high integrity who is able to work in a team and make a meaningful contribution to any fleet management operation and as equally good at working alone. I can minimize costs in terms of redundant vehicles on hire, excessive fuel usage and damage charges. People can rely on me to make sure that the Transport office is running smooth, and make sure that all its vehicles are kept in a clean, safe and roadworthy condition. As a true professional I always try to find ways to improve existing ways of working and come to management with a track record of cutting unnecessary costs and reducing overheads. Furthermore, as a true team player I have no problem sharing my knowledge and ideas with others. I have developed analytical thinking, creative, problem solving skills which mostly helps in cost saving and process improvement.

Pros: Gain experience in a variety of areas, give multiple skills
Cons: Fewer formal training programs, encounter less opportunity for growth and promotion

Im looking forward to go through changes and growth in life

My current job is one of the best work I ever found ever since I started working from small businesses where I use to work temporarily and my previous job. It gives you a chance to outplay yourself to be recognizable in and out of the organization. My team is a hardworking candidates,even though there ar those who are difficult with no discipline,I manage to communicate with my manager and have some ways of dealing with such strands. I love it at work when they pronounce the best performers that's make identity you where you stand when it comes to your best commitment.

Pros: good chance for change and growth
Cons: hardworking and discipline
