Customer Service Assistant Review

Working at Golfbreaks.com was the one of the best experiences of my life, I was able to see all sides of the business. I was able to gain a very good insight into the working world and develop my skills.

I was extremely valued by my colleagues, I was treated like any other staff member and they were always there to help if I needed it. You work very closely as a team and also with other departments.

I had one to one meetings scheduled on a regular basis where we discussed progress and any issues. The management team are always there to listen to any concerns and to ensure that you are supported in your job role. They are very keen to see you progress in your placement and will help you to do this continuously.

I was always busy and the days at work went very fast! If there were ever quiet periods you are given projects to work on with your team which you can use to your benefit and enhance your skills.

From my very first day at Golfbreaks.com I was given a vast amount of responsibility. You are treated like any other employee and the company will always push you and support you in the right direction to learn new skills by giving you even more responsibility.

During my placement year I learnt how to manage my time in the most effective way, because of the responsibility I was given, I became much more confident in every day life as well as at work. The placement has also given me a great insight into a real life successful business, I am now able to apply this knowledge to my studies.

The atmosphere was very fun and bubbly, there is a never a quiet day in the office. They have monthly dress down days and there are venues that visit the office which also creates a great atmosphere.

The inductions were very thorough and well planned, the HR team do a great job ensuring that everyone is settled in and their door is always open if you have any concerns. There is also opportunities to move around to different departments which is fantastic as not many internships offer this.

I always received support and training in order to be the best at my job, the company invested much time into me so I could gain the skills and confidence to do roles within the company that I didn't think I could do! They value their employees a lot.

I will be returning back to Golfbreaks.com

The placement students always arranged nights out together, the company organise a week long familiarisation trip across the UK which was very good fun! There are often office drinks and after work drinks with other colleagues.

The cost of living is quite expensive, I decided to commute.

Windsor is a lovely area, there are many bars/pubs/beer gardens.

There is a gym on the first floor of the building, there are also many sports clubs that are available to join.
