No prospects for growth
It is a relaxed place to work at without a lot of pressure but I feel like it is not an ideal place for a person that holds a Bsc Degree and that wants to progress in their career. There is also a lot of politics as people who hold higher positions are politically connected.
Pros: flexible working hours
Cons: The job is not challenging and there are no prospects for promotions

There is high room for learning and growth
Worked within administration team, comprising 10 members and ensure that institutions pending verification are contacted and also contact clients with pending payments of their applications. I enjoyed working my co-workers and we achieved a lot as a team above all I learned about the the importance of adaptability we are living in an ever changing environment which requires one to be always to accept change and adapt to it. What I enjoyed most is the fact that we always work as a team to achieve all the given task and help one another to achieve personal goals we encourage one another to do the the best. The most challenging aspect about the job is the fact that we work with different departments and at times they deliver their work to us way later than expected and that lead to back lock but we always go extra mile to ensure we deal with it
Pros: Great opportunity for learning
Cons: A very pressurized environment

Enjoying being in contact with various stakeholders and establishing new network.

Weighing and comparing South African education qualifications against the qualifications of the country is awesome.
