The Role

THE PEOPLE COULND'T BE BETTER, WILLING TO HELP AND ALWAYS FRIENDLY
THERE IS A VAST SUPPORT NETWORK AROUND YOU FROM THE PERSON ON THE NEXT DESK TO YOUR BRANCH MANAGER, AREA MANAGER AND EVEN THOSE ABOVE THAT.
SOME DAYS YOU ARE RUSHED OFF YOUR FEET AND SOME DAYS YOU ARE FINDING YOURSELF AT A LOOSE END BUT NEVER FOR A LONG TIME AND THE MANAGERS ARE GOOD AT FINDING THINGS FOR YOU TO DO SUCH AS MEETING OTHER BUSINESSES OR MARKETING
