The Role
As enjoyable as work can be.
Could not have been more welcoming and my contribution was made to feel highly valued
Could not have been given more support and guidance. I was pushed to what they believed I should be pushed to - but not too hard. I was always given help where needed.
Could have been given slightly more work.
About the right amount.
The job helped me gain invaluable skills such as audit knowledge and general business awareness which are proving invaluable to my degree
The Company
Fun, hard-working atmosphere. Very positive and helpful people.
It was set up perfectly. I was treated as an employee as opposed to 'the guy doing work experience'.
Plenty of training, feedback on all jobs and discussion of them. The company semmed willing to do whatever it took for us to meet our potential.
