Belief in the philosophy that every employee can contribute to the efficient operation of the company
Manager of Operations (Current Employee) - Gauteng - 26 October 2021
Free to come up with process improvement initiatives as long as they improve productivity they are adopted. The HR department takes the initiative of improving management and leadership skills by training identified employees with reputable institutions and with the assistance of SSETA. Have learnt that my eagerness to learn new things and working smart can get me elevated to higher positions. i started as a data capturer and rose through the ranks to become an Operations Manager. The hardest part of the job is people management who are deeply unionised. The easiest is to ensure that you adhere to policy and procedures and life becomes easy.

Great experience
junior product development officer (Former Employee) - Centurion, Gauteng - 29 January 2021
I’ve learnt a lot from them. As my first job they did a great job. My senior manager really contributed a lot in my career and having to meet him again at Absa it was a blessing because of the things he taught me along my walks of life

The company is no longer what it used to be, postal delivery to first addresses only every 4th day.
Data Capturer (Former Employee) - Welkom, Free State - 4 March 2020
I started as a data capturer work for 9 months there, promoted to teller, then admin and for the past 8 years mail controller, mainly a mail dominated ar which I did a great job. My reason for resigning was due to poor management style which makes it impossible to deliver what it takes, which was the slogan of the company at the time.
