Good learning oppertunities

Field Marketer (Former Employee) – Western Cape – 31 March 2017

Every day is filled with challenges and i learned to always improvise.
The management is very supportive especially with help needed.
The hardest part of my work is the heavy boxes but i enjoyed it regardless.The best part of my job was that i could use my own initiative and that gives u the skill to always improvise.

Pros

Good salary

Cons

Lots of physical labour

fun workplace

picker and packer (Former Employee) – Isando, Gauteng – 7 April 2016

fun workplace, the hardest was picking 120 cases per hour in a very large warehouse, management taking decisions that involve workers without consulting them, working hard and getting incentives for that, I have learned to be patient and to take pride in my work.

Pros

Cons

none

Productive and fun workplace

Accounts Payables Clerk (Current Employee) – Cape Town, WC – 10 February 2015

A typical day would start with preparing payments for the day ( COD and 7 day vendors)
AVI Management has an open door policy and should you have difficulty with some issue, go discuss with your manager before you really get into your day. The office environment is pleasant and feels like a family. The hardest part of the job is having to wait on other parties to complete their steps before you can perform your duties. The most rewarding part of the job is when suppliers are paid and happy and communicate this to you. You also build up pleasant business relationships with the supplier contacts you are dealing with

Pros

Working independently but as a team

Cons

No real cons

Lacking the human touch.

Commercial Manager (Former Employee) – Johannesburg, GP – 3 October 2013

Work was quite varied and involved a lot of interaction with all segments of the business. I learned quite a lot about dealing with different personalities. Management were a bit distant and communication wasn't always clear. There are a lot of good people working there but not a lot of fun was had. The hardest part of the job was communicating with the various stakeholders, while the best part was dealing with some very good people.

Pros

Performance bonus

Cons

None.

Fast growing company with continuous improvement

SAP System Analyst (Former Employee) – Bryanston, Sandton – 25 October 2012

Daily analysing of leave logs to ensure accurate leave accruals for all staff. Continuous growth of Human Resources staff and empowering HRSS to identify problem areas and apply solutions. Training and knowlegde sharing on an ongoing basis. Testing of new functionalities on SAP on QA as well as legislative changes and break fixes. Hardest part was to persist if test results turned out negative. The most enjoyable part of my job was the satisfaction gained from training employees and seeing how they apply that knowledge on a daily basis

Pros

staff discounts on certain products

Cons

family / work balance

Great work environment (co-workers)

Sales Consultant (Current Employee) – Cape Town – 2 August 2012

The working environment has become more stringent as the policies and procedures have changed which at the moment makes it unpleasant to work there. The people I get to meet at work are great, and my co-workers are truely, people I would work with any day. Management is in my opinion not up to standard with regards to basiclly every aspect of the job be it paperwork, customer service, helping of co-workers, being the drivnig force behind wanting us to work to the best of our ability.

Pros

working with the people i do.

Cons

low pay for the amount of effort.
