You need to be strong-willed, flexible and open to diverse approaches in respect of the application of relevant legislative and regulatory frameworks. Conscious awareness of all changes as they apply to specific situations and the ability to bring the balance between employee/employer imperatives/business demands is imperative.Game changers are a must as the playing field keeps on changing.
Pros
Employee development
Cons
Pressured environment
Was productive , i learned a lot of things and gained experience. The work environment was friendly and they pushed me mentally do to a better job .
Pros
Free lunches
The organization is saturated in corruption, prejudice and bullying. The City claims to encourage whistleblowing but when you do, you become a target of corporate bullying from the top down, character assassination, until they literally work you out the gate. Gangsterism within the City is very real, many thugs in high ranking positions, abusing their office. Those claiming the Cityis a great place to work are either themselves corrupt or turn a blind eye to save face.
Pros
Job security, good income
Cons
Promise of promotion in return for fringe benefits, blackmail, no job security or personal safety if you are a whistleblower
Company is clouded with racism, ideas from employees are weighed down and negatively accepted. Its dominated by old people who have a very resistant frame of mind to change, it's a good place to work at if you have no intention of growing in your career...consider it a retirement village, it's good for you if have no intention of contributing industry shaping ideas because there is no room for that.
Working for City of Cape Town was good, exciting and fun. I gained experience in administration. The management was friendly, in good communication with us. My hardest part of my job was during training. Some people were provided training sadly for me I was not in the list of people who got that lucky and received training. I waited for a call from COCT regarding traing but got nothing until today but we were promised to get a training to have certificates that will help us in the future.
Pros
No free lunch
Cons
Short breaks
City of Cape Town is a good company to work for because you can get a job to work at your community and there will be no transport costs and you won’t have to spend for lunch and you work flexible hours
Pros
Bring your own lunch, easy to get to work
Cons
Working during the weekend
A lot of perks including free courses to attend and financial assistance to study further. In-house training provided and you get sent to private institutions for further training. You also get time off for study purposes.
Pros
Free courses
Cons
