Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedI enjoyed working at UP, no place is perfect - it had its own weaknesses but I now miss UP. If it were up to me, I would come back. I miss their eagerness to improve.

Very demanding
Teaching Assistant (Former Employee) - Pretoria, Gauteng - 11 January 2021
Helping with students during the pandemic very quickly went above and beyond the work in the job description. Teaching is always a great opportunity to help the next generation but the nominal hours and the amount of work I did not not match up at all.

Sales Consultant and others (Former Employee) - Hatfield, Gauteng - 4 September 2020
On my first day I was happy welcomed by peers and management over a cup of coffee and biscuits. I really like how they do their work, hands-on and security is also wonderful. the harder part of the job you have to do the allocated tasks on the identified time and get done correctly. However, they are patient to take you along until they see you doing everything correctly on your own.
the most enjoyable part of the job was to engage on various ad numerous activities especially research. meeting with local and external stakeholders. This was beautiful. After work you keep your mind busy conceptualizing on different themes and contextualizing with other peers.
Pros
written and verbal communication, easy to engage with other cultures understand the languages

Rigid . Slow paced transformation...
Manager (Current Employee) - Education - 10 March 2020
Great facilities and resources but employee wellness need to be taken seriously. On the issue of benefits and reduction of employee attrition...instead of promising the employees that should they die..you will give their beneficiaries up to 7 times their annual salary.How does that decision assist the employee's financial situation at present? Why can't you give the seventh annual salary to the employee while still alive...Ijoh!
