The Role
I really enjoyed my placement. I felt I learnt a lot during my time there.
I had a really good relationship with my colleagues.
I was given a folder to complete and left to get on with it.
The shop was sometimes really busy and at times not that busy so I just completed my folder during the quiet periods.
I was dispensing, updating stock levels of the drugs on the records. I was sometimes on the shop floor on my own therefore I did have quite a bit of responsibility.
I learnt a lot of valuable information which will help me in university.
The Company
Everyone that I worked with were really genuinely nice and helpful people I had fun working with them.
I knew what I had to do as I had a folder which listed the skills I should be developing.
I didnt really get much personal training.
Flexi Time
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
The future employment prospects seem good.
The Culture
I didnt really spend much time with my colleagues outside of work.
I dont know what the living and socialising cost is.
I didnt get involved with the nightlife.
There wasnt any activities outside of work.
