The Role
The job was challenging at times but a lot of support was provided to me from management and other colleagues. I really enjoyed it.
Being part of the team, and not just a student, I was immediately welcomed.
Management guided and supported me all the time, when required.
With conferences and regular laugh campaigns, I was extremely busy but usually a steady rate outside of these periods.
Being part of the team, I was given interesting and exiting projects to work on and manage.
I've learnt real skills. They're help me tremendously throughout my final year and in the future.
The Company
Work hard, play hard. It was all so good fun.
Very well, they greeted me and made me one of the team.
Lots of training was available as well as from other colleagues, such as sales representatives. I also developed my presentation skills.
Subsidised Canteen
Company Parties/Events
Above 25 days holiday
Students are extremely valued and I'm hoping to go back into a marketing position.
The Culture
Very good socially. Many of the students lived in the area, which meant good nights out. many of my friends at Uni now are people that I met on placement.
Quite an expensive place to live, I wasnt able to save very much.
Only good because of the other students!
Sports and Social club organised lots of events to get involved with, and i was able to join a football Club also.
