Willing to learn and quick to grasp
I am willing to explore any sort of industry, I love learning and constantly need a challenge. I take pride in my work and love working with people. I am more self managed and will push my self to the limit to see through a task is done in a clean and correct manner. I always request for a new challenge or different job description. I am kind and willing to help others so we together achieve a goal. I question a lot in sense of understanding better and allowing me to have accuracy in what I do. In my job I learned how important work family is we build each other. I was fortunate to be more on the technical support as I understand computers more than anything. Challenging factors I faced are with regard to limited information given on a specific product/s which you are supposed to sell or support but you hardly understand as no one can explain therefore requires you to research.
Pros: Room for growth and allowance to study
Cons: Being stuck on the same position for years

Excellent learning curve
Working for Standard Bank was a very beautiful experience. I got to work with customers and learned how to be patient and understanding. I got to experience the different types of people and I enjoyed that very much. I had lovely co-workers who were always ready to assist me in things that I wanted to learn in the work environment in order to assist clients in the other department. What was challenging was having to deal with very difficult clients who wanted things done their way instead of following our procedures. Above everything else, I have enjoyed my time with Standard Bank. It really helped me grow
Pros: Great opportunity for learning
Cons: Difficult clients

The time I worked at the bank I learnt a lot
On a day to day the work load was alot as we were always short staff. Trying to reach your daily target was sometimes very difficult as you could never only focus on one job. I had a good relationship with the people I worked with. Good understanding and communication. I learnt how to manage a team and take control of a situation. The most challenging aspect of the job was when the systems would not work properly and you still have to reach your target for the day.
Pros: Exposure in the company
Cons: Short staff.

Excellent learning curve
There wasn't enough room to grow in the Call Center as no promotion was available. Permanent posts are minimal. It is a great learning curve in terms of learning about customer satisfaction and experience on a daily basis.
Pros: Opportunity to learn about Customer Service
Cons: Not enough room to grow
