Production in sasol is good but there is no time for fun family time
safety representative, shopsteward (Current Employee) – Mpumalanga – 15 January 2019
If only the small issues like discrimination can be moved out of the way and we treat each other with respect and dignity, I think we can change sasol into a better place for us all to work in and bring back the family day so we can have fun with them and get to know each others family and that will make us one big family we always talk about.

Apprenticeship - Millwright (Former Employee) – Secunda Mpumalanga – 7 December 2018
Your typical day at work would be putting on your overall and safety equipment. Then you go in cage and go down 200 meters down the ground. Then you drive with a bakkie to the section and start the meeting in the waiting place. Continue the day and at end of day you go out underground to the showers and clean yourself. Management is good. Work culture also good between the people. Hardest part is carrying heavy stuff threw mud with your boots. Enjoyable part is reaching the target coal for the day at the end of the day.
Pros
Barbecue with the team and free coffee
Cons
Long Hours

Electrical Supervisor, Electrical Engineer (Current Employee) – Sasolburg – 5 September 2018
Sasol is a good company to work for, but in the last 5 years it changed and it isn`t the same anymore, it use to be nice to go to work and management and workers used to respect and knew each other, now with all the changes in the company the workers and management don`t know each other and also don`t trust each other.
