Excellent Learning curve
-I am currently placed in Limpopo Polokwane at Imperial Cold Logistics, for 3 months for practical training. -I reported in on the 15/08/2016 under my mentor at the cash office. -Each and every morning, there are invoices that are brought in so that can be put in sequence than for scanning and capturing. -And than there is information that I learnt of what a cash officer does everyday, so far I have learnt about how the petty cash money is used for and how should the daily flow of money recorded in different documents. -when the lady from reception is not available, I take calls and massages, transfer the calls on her behalf. -what I enjoy more everyday about my work is learning from my mentor especially new things, she is very patient and gets into detail about everything that she teaches me. -The most challenging thing about being in the cash office is working with money, because at the end of the day, the money that flows in and out should be able to be balanced.
Pros: Great opportunity for promotion
Cons: Good Learning working hours
