The Role
My manager broke her leg and was out of the office for 6 months so I had a much greater workload than expected.
Again, with my manager out of the office injured I had to take a lot more responsibility.
Some were quite job specific but most will be useful.
The Company
Flexi Time
Subsidised Canteen
Sports and Social Club
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
It's a very stagnant place in which to work, with limited progression prospects.
The Culture
I didn't live too near them but since we've got back to uni its been ok.
Lived in Wycombe so not too bad.
Wycombe was full of pubs and London wasn't too far away.
A bit of football and cricket, and the student pool tournament every Thursday.
