Learnt so much in terms of logistics
Work Transnet is challenging as we deal with different types of customers and suppliers. I start my day with morning meeting with management to plan the work for the day and check challenges for the day. After I will have a meeting with sub-ordinates to allocate the tasks for the day and expectations. Communications with the employees is good as we assist each other to execute the work. I have gained communication, leadership; presentation and reporting skills to name the few. The challenges is when we do not reach the target and must report to customer dissatisfaction.
Pros: Oppotunities of promotion are available.
Cons: Working longer hours and on weekend

Learnt so much in terms of logistics
I start work 15minutes before to analyze the work for the day and plan. I communicate with co-workers about the expectation from senior management and customers.

The good moments is when we are ahead of target allocated to us by both management and satisfying the customers.
