The Role
The people are mostly quality to work with! But the hours are far too long to be enjoyable and the amount of sh*t you have to put up with from customers isn't good. And it's the same thing everyday which get monotonous.
You make some good mates and when you eventually run the day, people do listen and respect your decisions.
Everyone has been in the same position so are very helpful but there just isn't enough time for proper training. So it's very much a learn as you go job.
Ridiculously busy. Good because it makes the day go fast but working til 7/8 on most nights means no free time at all! Wouldn't mind it if it ended at 6pm everyday!
Fair play to them, they let you make your own mistakes. Help is available if you need it but if you want to go it alone, you can!
Will help with communication (which is very important!) but not much else.
The Company
Depends. I worked at a few branches, some were dead, some had a great atmosphere!
Very good. You get a manual detailing what needs to be done, when. So it helps you learn the ins and outs of it all.
There a fair few training days. But its mostly learning on your own.
Company Parties/Events
Jobs are available with them...but that's only because everyone keeps leaving due to the stress of the job.
The Culture
You don't meet many other placement students except for on training days.
Cheap but there's very little time for it!
Quality.
Nothing at all.
