The Role
It was abit hard at first but then really easy its a good job for students
They chatted at work but no contact outside, Good for students if they spend alot of time clubbing though
The manager was really nice And Was very friendly toward students which i thought was nice
It was a good balance if the tills were empty we'd stack shelves
Skills I'll keep throughout my life, its really good learning them while being a student because you won't have to do extra training at your next placement
The Company
It was rather alot of fun, i believe students have more fun working there and they hire loads aswell to build them up the line
the placement was set up good because the times i worked were with people my age and ones who have worked there years so they could help out and there was always something to do
i even received extra training sessions and extra help when needed
Above 25 days holiday
I've actually just reapplied about a week ago fingers crossed i get it
The Culture
Social was good when needed and perfect when not people weren't to noisey
it wasn't that cheap
What can i say the night life turned me into a party animal
Can't say i took any opportunities but i got offered around 12 in 16 months
