The Role
At the beginning of the day placement was interesting. It was very stimulating and learning a lot of things in sort period of time. However when COVID hit things change a bit.
I was very lucky to have an amazing team. My branch manager very helpful and gave me good feedback. Coworker were amazing and supportive. In other branches changed a bit. Never going to get a good team.
As I said before manager and assistant manager we’re quite helpful and very consistent in giving me feedback and making sure I get everything done well.
Enterprise is always busy, I did not know what was multitasking until my placement. Many things going on at the same time.
First two weeks not many responsibilities only follow my colleagues and learn. After two weeks I had many chores I had to get done.
I learned and develop few skills. Such as sales, communications, customer service, problem solving. This will help me after I graduate. I will be more employable and confident.
The Company
At the first two branches the atmosphere was very good and maybe thanks to the team. The managers are very important to change the atmosphere. Other branches the atmosphere were quite poorly. The days we had training at the head office it was fantastic. Everyone amazingly nice to us.
It was a bit unorganised because it was difficult with multitasking and it was very busy.
Three trainings at the beginning of my placement. Driving training. Free lunch with manager and area manager which I did not get but is part of the new management trainees program. Every week I had a review with my manager about my growth.
Company Car
The prospects are very high working hard in the organisation. The growth is very fast if the numbers abs people support you.
The Culture
I spoke with other placement students and they were happy
I moved to Bournemouth town were I knew people. The cost of living were average, and not transport cost I was living next to my branch.
Nightlife in Bournemouth is very good and enjoyable. With COVID I couldn’t enjoy that much.
No body told me anything
