The Role
Great for development and training. You will learn how to run a business, managing each aspect from sales to staffing levels. A week does involve a lot of work but it will fly by.
My work collegues were great, always praising a good job and helpful when I needed assistance.
Management at my Branch (Gatwick) were great and so were the head office staff. They treated you with great respect.
Gatwick Airport was a very busy branch to work at, this was fantastic for my development and it meant the day flew by.
I was running the branch on many occasions. They really trusted me.
I am happy I did my placement at Enterprise, they do invest heavily in training and take it very seriously. I was treated exactly the same as permanent members of staff which really made me feel part of the team.
The Company
Great atmosphere, lots of friendly banter but at the same time professional when the time required. The office was very busy which was stressful at times but great at other times.
Regular training sessions and personal mentor meetings. Also promotional criteria set out to be achieved.
Provided me with a hotel for training at head office and travel expenses to get there, also a food allowance. Spent a lot of time on training at head office, especially on customer service. They spend the same amount of time on students/interns as they do on their permanent members of staff.
Company Parties/Events
Healthcare from home
I have already been invited to return after I graduate.
The Culture
I joined with three other interns so the social scene was great. Went out for meals, some paid for by the branch. There was a couple of Enterprise nights out and if you are a top sales employee you are taken on a day out called an 'elite' day all paid for.
I lived back the parents for the year so it was really cheap.
didnt go out at gatwick, but went out in Horsham.
loads of charity work to do for Enterprise outside of work.
