Pros: growth opportunity

Fair with a huge room for improvement
The mixture of our work force is what excite me. This is because I get to interact with people of different generations. The recent challenge is to balance the interest of the business, our current workforce and the communities that we are operating within My experience in Transnet has taught me that education alone cannot bring harmony hower the understanding and appropriate response social imbalance amongst our workforce as well as the communities that reside along our operations. Stretched working hours are offset by the fact that as a manager, I am allowed to be flexible in the context working undefined hours
Pros: Autonomy to make decisions within your scope
Cons: No clear process motivate good performers without necessarily promoting them to the next level
