    3 to 4 years in the role, former employee
    Great organisation
    The good thingsThe people especially at branch are extremely tight knit and are willing to assist one another. Good experience in meeting and handling customers of diverse background and requirements. Have the opportunity to see other citizens in both great and desperate circumstances which allows you to learn and grow when you are able to render assistance.
    The challengesBeing a Government organisation, people expect you to know about many things not related to your job scope or organisation as it is deemed to be One Government. if you look at it from a positive outlook, it gives you the opportunity to learn about other organisations and also where to seek for assistance while you are helping your customers even if the matter on hand does not directly relate to your job or organisation.
