HR and payroll experience
Starts off with a morning meeting in order to be updated with business processes, business highlights, to get understanding of work load. Each day normally very busy, priority of tasks changes throughout the day. Lots of payroll queiries to deal with and need to pay attention to each one. Enjoy working with my team, we laugh, we work and just able to pull together when the pressure is on. I have learnt to be focused, to be attentive, dealing with pressure, and to deal with change. I enjoy assisting our customers and transactional side of payroll system and processes. Meeting deadlines and getting employees paid on time and accurately is the most challenging part of the job.
Pros: Moved from HR administrator to payroll administrator in 8 months
Cons: have to work extra hours and highly pressurised.

My Review
arrive before 8, get comfortable, make sure all my staff at work, log into my pc, open various systems to monitor agents, open spread sheet to ensure all sales for previouday is captured, ensure that all staff are getting calls great my fellow colleuges. then drive the sales team to achieve target. the thing ive learnt is be on top of your agents that way they cant BS you with anything plus ive been in call centres for a long time and am able to see any if not all funny things that agents think they get away with. the most challenging aspect of my job is for me i guess, developing people here, its slow and non supportive in a sense that if i want to send my agent who i think will make a good customer service agent to training for customer services then its a whole process and alot of red tape holding you back to help that person grow.
Pros: the benefits
Cons: the Salary

Learning curve
This was my real first time job and I have learned so much within these 2 years. Working with different people from all over South Africa over the phone and dealing with difficult customers and all really prepared me for the business field of work. Even being supervised by different people and selling different products on the floor helped me a lot with regards to being flexible in a work environment.
Pros: I had great time at tfg
Cons: Having to deal with difficult customers
