Standard bank is great place to work for , you work with different dynamics of people from different areas of the business particularly in my area which cut across different business areas in the bank. I have a relationship with my coworkers they are very supportive, encouraging, we are very open to each other. I have learned a great deal in the payments environment, how payments system operates in the banking sector in south africa. The most enjoyable part of my work is interaction between different stakeholders (internal stakeholders and external stakeholders from other banks and other industry role players)The culture, the people make it a great place to work for. One of the challenging part is Handling of industry queries( bank system error's, customers queries)ensuring that these are resolved within a time line giving and without the interruption of banking systems. .
Pros: There is opportunity for promotions one needs to perform up well and up to his optimum level
Cons: There are instance were one will be required to work for long hours

Great opportunity to learn traditional marketing
The overall scope required one to managed multiple portfolios, which required strong planning and project management skills. Team work is also vital not only from a point picking each others brains for creative ideas, but also as a support base should you need help in a particular portfolio or an event for that portfolio. A good relationship with business is also very key in terms of establishing trust, which includes showing understanding for their clients and product offering. The greatest challenge is ensuring that delivery for all your key portfolios is met and executed on time.
Pros: Great learning curve
Cons: The red tape sometimes resulted in us missing an opportunity in the market to a competitor

Excellent starting point of the career
Patience and calmness are the most indirectly taught virtues in this line of work because you face different kinds of customers everyday and you have to able to deal with each and every customer's query, also a listening skill is very important so you can be able to know exactly what a customer needs. Working in a team was the one of the things I enjoyed the most because I had a good relationship with my co-workers. The most challenging aspects of the job is being shortstaffed especially on the busiest days of the months, it is exhausting to work overtime you can easily make mistakes with the cash you handling.
Pros: Great opportunity for growing students in business
Cons: Long working hours and working even on weekends

Excelled in my project and program management position
As Business Release Manager I have completed the enhancement of the Access Save Account, Decommissioning: The core objective of BigFOoT is to migrate legacy financial settlement processes off of MSA GL & Branch Accounting. The migration of these processes are a key enablement of the ultimate decommissioning of MSA GL & Branch Accounting 2. Improved financial control: Through utilising SAP we will be able to automate the majority of the end to end reconciliation processes, eliminating hand-off’s and manual processes that are susceptible to error improving overall process efficiency. 4. Customer experience: Finally, whilst more work is still needed to ensure that we deliver “what matters”, BigFOoT could be a key enabler in: - Real time transfer of value (where possible) - Providing access to more granular transactional data (for client recon purposes)
Pros: Was selected as part of the beyond excellent teams who's delivery was well manage and rewarded with a fully oversea paid trip for 19 days. Also got selected on the executive program which test and many other qualities were evaluated on looked at.
Cons: Being in a very dynamic and very high demand in delivery and successful implementation of solution is key, additional time and long hours have been incorporated into some daily activities. End result is always pleasurable and therefore satisfactory from a delivery output perspective. I enjoy this and hence do not see it as "must" or "slavery" culture however as individual self satisfactory contribution.
