Best company I ever work for also the only place were I have ever see that senior management live according to the company's core values and giving assistance to there employees
Was a lot of fun working there never a dull moment. Safety driven. Very big and a lot of people working there. To impersonal nature you only know the people you directly with.
The prospects were very good with good incentives but it was shortlived due to retrenchments and subsequent closure.I was the first miner to be hired for the then project and was left outside during the re opening. I enjoyed the privileges during training at the then Frank # and accomodation at Bleskop was good by the standards by then.
Anglo American is one of the greatest companies in any industry for anyone to work in. Not taking into account how the company took me from high school through exposure year to varsity at no cost at all and to offer the excellent work environment is amazing.
Pros
Big company, great job security, many commodities, great give back to the community. Good benefits
Cons
Limited opportunities due to company profile, platinum price strain
So many challenges we face on daily basis specially because of the UNIONS tha is influencing employees negatively.
Dispite the challages I managed to bring my teams together and starting to achieve incredible results.
The hard part of this job is the preasure i get from both the managment and the crews. When the management brings changes in standard and Code Of Practice the crews are always resistant to implemment.
The most enjoyeble part of this job is when I get recognition and receiving presents as a best performer
