A very good environment to socialize with people

a very good learning environment for every 1 no experience needed because u get trained and the salary is not so bad the problem is that we only work few days in a month you cant really have a budget because there plan changes every now and then but for newly matriculated people its a very good place to start and save money to study because we get off more often

Pros: great opportunity to learn
Cons: long working hours

Fast moving customer goods

To work for a FMCG company means that one has to work under preasure to meet deadlines and targets, which means that when you do a job there is no room for error.every second that is lost it is money.you need personal and interpersonal skills to work in such environment, you have to be self driven, innovative and be a team player at the same time. with the time i have spent at my work i have learnt to be a role player, to take ititiatives and to be a leader.I enjoy taking upon new roles you will notice on my cv that i have embarked on new roles a few times this past year, that is where I learn and grow.

Pros: you get to learn to work under preassure which teaches you,to attend to breakdowns faster.
Cons: Sometimes you work weekends and holidays

Working at Snackworks

A typical day at work is never the same especially due to union uncertainties. Hence, I often assist the HR manager in terms of generating reports. I have good relationships with co-workers however, favoritism strains relationships. Unfortunately due to previously working under a negative boss, I have learnt not to trust co-workers, to always have yourself covered. Challenges have been working under close deadlines.

Pros: Good exposure to fileds outside HR
Cons: Minimal career growth
