The Role
Placement was run well, didn't however enjoy my job

By the people around me i got good help From my boss i felt i got little help and more lectures
always had work to do
had a responsibility to complete reports each day
Developed IT skills - Did not develop any sales skills
The Company
Atmosphere was good, friendly, and bubbly
well organised throughout
It training Safe driver training No sales training
Subsidised Canteen
Sports and Social Club
If you enjoy your job their is the possibility of coming back
The Culture
If you enjoy going out to Yates in Luton then this place will be your cup of tea. If you dont the social scene is very poor. Positives were that there are 70 other undergrads
Cheap rent No decent clubs
Awful - No decent nighlife, only positive is train to london takes 20 mins
CSR days - Always opportunities to volunteer outside of work if you want
