The Role
Was good as a summer job and experience was good. Really worthwhile for putting in your cv. However would not want to work here full time.
Sometimes felt like a burden on the staff.
Did support me really well. Manager was great with me, just the other staff where not so great.
Always having to look to do things as business became dead during summer months.
Quite a bit of responsibility given with no training.
Won't really help my degree however it will help me in securing a graduate job in another company as i have the experience of working for a large company as a first year student.
The Company
Was quite a fun place to work, however can get really bored easily.
Not organised at all. Manager never had an intern so didn't know what to do with me at first. No training given so thrown in the deep end too early.
Did not invest in training or development. Was an on the job training scheme.
Flexi Time
Financial Bonus
not my field
The Culture
Was good meeting people in my shoes.
Lived and worked at home during placement, so cheap.
Nightlife is bad up in cumbria
No opportunities what so ever
