The Role
Awful experience
Spent the first two weeks doing nothing because the supervisior for me was to busy and my manager didn't care. Had only trvial work to do after that completed unrelated to my degree
Didnt do anything so had no responsibility at all.
I could have done this work at high school, completely unrelated to my degree. Everyone is meant to do a personal devolopment report but my manager was to busy to ever do mine with me.
The Company
Subsidised Canteen
National Travel
Would never go back.
The Culture
I was the only placement student at the site despite being told there would be three others before starting.
Reasonable. Had to live in the city though and travel out to the site everyday as I couldn't afford a to stay in the near by town.
The near by town had nothing but the city was good enough.
