Since it's a work-issued phone, can you buy apps, or are you limited to the free apps? I think a lot of the more common ones are available on Android, too.
I've been using some meditation apps lately, like "Stop, Breathe, and Think" and "Smiling Mind." Stitcher can be good for podcasts. I like TuneIn Radio, which allows you to stream terrestrial and online radio stations from around the world. TV Guide, AMC, and YouTube can be convenient. There are subscription streaming video apps (Netflix, Hulu Plus, HBO Go) but the screen is kind of small for that.
I use QR Reader, too. In a perfect world, I'd use GasBuddy, which tells you local gas station prices, but I forget that I have it. There's a Flashlight app that can be helpful.
For games, I like Flow (Free), Temple Run, Dots, 2048. Social media, too, as you might expect.
Otherwise, there are guides online that can give you help with settings, etc. One thing I don't like about my iPhone is that there's no comprehensive list of features; I've had it for a year, and there are probably still things I don't know about. Some of that comes with playing around with it.
Oh, and you can set up more than one e-mail box in the "Mail" section. I have my Yahoo and Google accounts both linked there for easy access. You can do the same with the Calendars.
I tend to tell all apps "No" when they ask about push notifications, etc. There are times when my phone will flash a notification, and it's only a game app telling me it's my turn or something I was waiting for is ready.
Oh, and to move icons around, press down onto an icon and hold. After a few seconds, the icons will start to shake. You can move them into folders, or create new folders by moving one icon over another icon. A folder name will be suggested for you, but you can also edit that.
