The Role

1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

Great experience, gives you an insight in to so many different parts of a business that I don't think you would get on other placements

4/5

2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

Treated like you're a full time member of staff, given exactly the same responsibility as all the staff in your position. Work 50 hour weeks so get to know everyone really well, which makes work enjoyable.

5/5

3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

Given regular reviews by my manager so I always knew how I was getting on and what I needed to improve on. Both managers were always available if I needed them and would even stay after working hours to give me extra training.

5/5

4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

Varies, some days none stop busy, others there's a nice flow. Only had one or two days on internship when it was really quiet it terms of customer flow, but there is still lots of office based work to do, so your never bored.

4/5

5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

Given same responsibility as the full time members of staff. Felt trusted by management, but didn't give you so much freedom you didn't know what you were doing good balance

5/5

6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

Won't get many placements where you learn such a broad range of skills: sales,marketing,accounting, customer service and general business skills that will be very useful.

5/5

Very well organised. Very useful first week where we had training and then midway through the placement had another training with interns, good to catch up and see how all doing.

5/5

9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

Only really together for first week as we all worked at different branches. But that week we were encouraged to socialise together and company paid for several meals for us.

3/5

Manager paid for drinks on Friday night so no cost! I lived at home during internship so no cost there either!

We went for drinks every Friday after work and had a good social event in Birmingham!
