A place where one has to focus on their own duties but full of diverse cultures where one can easily adapt. If I could I would go back and work there again
Great corporate exposure as i was still a new in the field, great for learning different parts of the business especially in the finance sector and how it merges with IT
The organization takes good care of their staff. Well balanced environment with opportunities to grow and learn. Very professional organization management is easy to communicate with. Good policies in place. They take you seriously and everyone is treated with dignity and respect
Pros
Growth and personal development opportunities
Cons
Far from Johannesburg
I enjoyed the work and the exposure to various market players at a very high level.
We performed investigations and studies which brought an element of interest into the job.
Hostile working environment like bullying in the workplace, unprofessionalism, browbeating, domineering and malicious harassment and the unfair treatment of subordinate staff.
The corporate culture has a huge room for improvement for staff retention and job fulfillment. The information Technology space could be given more autonomy to transform the organization to be in par with other industry players
Pros
Financial Services exposure
Cons
Culture
Well managed organisation, with great growth opportunities available. A typical day includes planning, admin, financial analysis and communicating with the different stakeholders.
Pros
opportunities available to grow.
I spend most of my day analysing financial statements and attending to ad-hoc admin. Attending meetings. I have learnt a lot about the retirement industry and regulatory environment, compliance and risk management. I have been privileged to work with great colleagues, always helpful and great environment. I enjoy helping all my clients from members we serve and the different administrators.
Pros
Great work environment
Each day at FSB brings different types of challenges. As an Active Directory Administrator, each am likely to get calls related to accounts. Unresolved calls by desktop technicians, get routed to my portfolio. We strive to jell together as team to maintain service level competency. Management always keeps us on our toes to get calls closed by end of business.
With pending projects likes deployment of SCCM 2012, team keeps an eye on all critical calls while engineers focus on deliverables. The challenge comes with users that pretend to know things around Windows. Our team gives all client an ear and ensure all deliverables are met.
Pros
Vast chances of learning new techology
Cons
Time is always a biggest threat when you are responsible for lot of things
It is a good place to work and learn about the Financial services industry and how it is regulated.
Pros
Work hours, people and the environment
Cons
NO flexibility
i would say that the Financial Services Board is one of the best companies a person can for. i have learnt a lot during my time at the FSB, I have learnt how to work with people, how to manage my time properly, how to deal with stress. i work with the best people as in that i consider them like family. the hardest part of my Job is dealing with unreasonable clients and the most enjoyable part is having clients thank you for a job well done.
Pros
departmental lunches
Cons
work overload in peak periods
Regulating and registering Pension Funds as per the Act. Great Management and co-workers. The hardest part was regulating vulumes of Pension Funds page by page. I found the job enjoyable beacuse it was a new field I had ventured into.
Pros
productive environment
Cons
no formal training
