Productive and fun company with lots of competition
Senior Credit Controller (Former Employee) - Pretoria, Gauteng - 5 May 2022
Telkom is a company that everyone would wish to work for. The only disadvantage is the job security because it has many competitors it's hard for them to keep all the jobs safe.But the overall is perfect with nice benefits as well

Productive, problem solving, independence, team work, collaboration, customer care, target driven, selling and rewards
Account Manager (Current Employee) - Centurion, Gauteng - 4 May 2022
Excellent company to work for. Offers the Best employee benefits and rewards. You know what your responsibilities and targets are from day one. Depending on the position you have applied for, you will get in-house training by either attending an in-house course from the Telkom College or by shadowing someone in your department. Do now fear that when you get employed you won't know how to do the job. Be prepared to collaborate with your team and other divisions either on daily or weekly. Be willing to be a productive and responsible member of team Telkom. No matter what position you're in, the following skills will improve - team work, problem solving, becoming target driven, being able to work independently and more. The company rewards great perfomance on quarterly with monetary incentives and annually by sharing profits with its employees.

Highly stressful environment
Sales Consultant (Former Employee) - Durban, KwaZulu-Natal - 27 January 2022
Irate customers daily and a lack of management support from both stores ive worked for. Managers are quick to delegate but when there is a serious issue they refuse to face the customer. Customers will often go months without issues being resolved and they will take it out on you in store.
Pros
Good salary
Cons
Lack of support, highly stressful

Jobs at Telkom SA Limited
Room for growth
Service Representative OP1 (Back Office) (Former Employee) - Centurion, Gauteng - 4 October 2021
Good environment to work, nice benefits and alot of room for growth. I enjoyed the work space and overall enjoyed waking up in the morning to go to work. Managers are okay, besides the favouritism and pressure. Work load can become a little stressful so there were opportunities for paid overtime on weekends.
Pros
Good environment, compensation and paid overtime
Cons
Favouritism, Work pressure, lack of communication from management, unprofessional advancements
