The Role
Good fun, i enjoyed my time learnt a lot about the company, its culture and how much it looks after it employees!
everyone was really friendly, looked after me whenever i was stook on a piece of work.
I mean the manager showed me what to do and i did it! if i had any problems lots of people where around to help me!
not very busy, i mean work wasnt always given sometimes you have to ask for work
not much responsibilty as only there as a student, but once they realised my work was of quality they gave me more meaningful work
I suppose i did take away general business, and business management skills. I dont know how much that will help in my degree just yet!
The Company
Great atmoshphere very lively, i loved it!
well organised, i had work to do, but just sometimes when the office wasnt busy id finish my work quick and then there was nothing to do!
A few training courses were available for me to go on
Subsidised Canteen
Sports and Social Club
Subsidised/Company Gym
Company Parties/Events
I hope they tae me back! i need a job once i graduate! but will just have to wait and see
The Culture
it was ok, a few events were organised and had the chance to meet other students from other offices, chance to network
cheappppp derby is cheappp
Not great i must admit, but i suppose it would be ok for most people, there were a lot of new places opening though
yes there was but this would be at your own leisure, a few football matches were arranged but i never played.
