MOST ENJOYABLE PART OF MY JOB: I WORK WITH THE MOST CHARISMATICS COLLEAGUES ALTHOUGH WE SOMETIMES HAVE OUR DAYS BUT WE WILL LEAVE NO ISSUES UNRESOLVED.

WHAT I LEARNED. ZERO TOLERANCE ON ERRORS AND RISK, I HAVE LEARNT THAT WE WORK SMART AND NOT HARD, I HAVE LEARNT THAT WHEN TEAM MEMBERS UNDERSTAND THEIR GOALS IT IS EASY TO ACHIEVE AND EXCEED YOUR DELIVERABLES, I HAVE LEARNT THAT THE RELATIONSHIPS I ESTABLISH HELP CUSTOMERS TO FEEL VALUED AND APPRECIATED.

HARDEST PART OF THE JOB: MONTH END VOLUMES KNOCKING OFF LATE AT 8 O CLOCK AND COMING BACK TO WORK AT 07:00 AM. THE DOWNS OF RELATIONSHIPS WITH FELLOW COLLEAUGES. TEAM MEMBERS BEONG RESISTANT TO CHANGE

CO WORKERS: RESPECT DIVERSE CULTURES AND TRADITIONS, TEAM PLAYERS, SHARING BEST PRACTISES OF ACHIEVING GOALS, RESPECTING OTHER PEOPLES OPINIONS EVEN IF YOU DISAGREE.

MANAGEMENT: GREAT MENTORS, LEAD BY EXAMPLES AND ARE NOT AUTOCRATIC

TYPICAL DAY AT WORK: COMING IN AND REALISING THAT WE HAVE HIGH VOLUMES AND NEED TO COME TOGETHER AN CREATE AN ACTION PLAN ON HOW TO DEAL THEM, REQUEST ASSISTANCE IF NEED BE, BUT ALSO NOT FORGETING THAT OUR JOB IS MAKE CUSTOMERS HAPPY

There is never a dull moment at this company. There is and always will be something different and new to learn on a daily basis. The management style is a little different whereby you update management of your weekly goals and then in turn, you produce these goals set aside for yourself to benefit yourself to impart knowledge. My co-workers are helpful and we all constantly learning from each other. The most difficult part about being a SQL Server DBA is the frustration of struggling to fix something that you've never been exposed too whilst under pressure. SQL Server is still an ever growing technology and its exciting to know how broad this space is because, it varies in so many factors ranging from SSIS to BI.

every day of my life when i go to work i have to be prepared as i know iam working on target, i am a target driven person so i sent a target each and every day, weekely monthly and yearly target, i learn diferent thing evertime is either from my staff or customers,
i have to leade different people and i have to deferetiate their personalities, i have to coarch also, the hardest partof the job is that we working on target sometimes a day passes by only to find no sales for the day, the most enjoyable part is when my team are marking it interms of meeting the target,

Working at the bank was a wonderful journey. Awarded various growth opportunities and I had wonderful leaders over the years who supported my growth and opportunities. The hardest part of my job was when affordability is not evident immediately to find a solution for the customer immediately, however it did not end there, I would craft short term solutions reviewable over a 3 month period to give the customer some minimal relieve and free up cashflow up until such time that affordability is evident for a full on solutions. Working with distressed customers taught me valuable lessons and always treating people with respect and dignity irrespective of circumstances and life changing outcomes let to happy and financial savvy customers.

its very nice environment where people work in teams and learn new ways of work wich benefits the customers and business to the company .were serve our customers to the best of our abilities  and put their needs wich drives drives our growth of caring for our people and doing things right the first time.

It always began with greeting eBlancing of treasury and the tellers at the end of the day.ach other. The day began with scrutinizing or reports balancing of in house account making sure they are zerorised. 

Making sure all the tellers have sufficient money to operate during the day. 

Authorising and double checking with large amounts of cash withdrawals and deposits.

Releasing of foreign exchange transactions.

Everyday had it's various scenarios. As a collaborative team we had day to day session where work for the day would be discussed. The environment was very dynamic as we all gain from different background of experiences. The diversity made the workplace enjoyable. There was always room for exploring technology despite the long working hours of standby - there was constant learning.

Because the company is large, working for different departments is like working in different companies. 
Some effort is made to celebrate special days and wins. 
There are areas where management is really good and leaders and then there are areas where management is immature and the environment is toxic.
