productive, learnt a lot,
Business Analyst (Former Employee) - Midrand, Gauteng - 9 May 2020
A typical day at work will be to attend meetings with system suppliers and discuss projects. Then meet with business leads to give updates and recommendations. Support system users and provide training when needed. Ensure that data is recorded correctly in the system and flag possible issues.
I have learned that if you give 100% to your work you will receive good results and it is vital to communicate effectively with other team members.
Workplace culture was a team of highly motivated professionals.
Hardest part of the job was when a business lead does not specify correct business requirements and i needed to do a lot of research before hand.
Most enjoyable part was when all departments could perform their daily duties with ease and being productive.

Fun Workplace
Senior Credit Controller (Former Employee) - ZA - 3 February 2020
Half of the time managers didnt know how to navigate the system due to new migration to Sage, so it made it difficult for them to train staff and to help with queries.

Great teamwork and fun place to work in
Operations Manager (Former Employee) - South Africa - 22 August 2019
Great Flexibality working environment, computer skills has drastically improved since working for Famous Brands. Also learned extensively how to read management accounts and Excel reports. Culture was hard work, then play hard. Team work was essential as when there where strikes ( warehouse staff ) at the warehouse and trucks still had to be loaded with stock for our franchisees we all were put on rosters to load trucks etc so there was no disruptions in deliveries. Hardest part of the job would be the admin side of the job.
