The Role
I did enjoy my internship, I learnt a lot quickly and feel a lot more confidant in a professional environment.
I had an excellent team at my branch who I can honestly say made me feel valued everyday.
I was given weekly performance meetings and montly reviews which helped focus my aims and make targets during the internship.
Some branches are busier than others but I would enver say you would be bored, there is always something to do.
I was given plently of responsibility as everyone really has to pull together as a team to run the branch together and I had my own tasks which I was soley accountable for.
I have learnt valuable skills at Enterprise which I will use during my studies and develop throughout my career
The Company
There was a good atmosphere between employees and I think this shone with customers aswell.
The internship was very clearly set up and provided full training before work started, furthermore there was more dedicated internship training which was helpful.
Enterprise does invest time in their staff with lots of training days and weekly performance meetings to help all staff with training and devleopment no matter what their level within the company.
Company Parties/Events
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
I have already accepted a part time internship with the company which I will continue during university.
The Culture
With interns working all over scotland and Ireland it was hard to meet up but we did all manage to get together for intern training and bbq at the end of the summer.
The area was out of town and quite cheap.
The area I worked was a 5minute train journey to the city centre so the nightlift tended to get better in the city centre.
Enterprise sponsors any charity event you may want to get involved in.
