The Role
Very fun but long hours!
Almost everyone was absolutely lovely.
The support which I received was really helpful and the management was fantastic.
Busy stages with quiet spells as well. Very good.
I was given as much responsibility as I could have coped with. I never 'ran the day' but I was given lots of responsibility. Although I could not drive.
Very very helpful and will use what I have learnt to help me with my uni work as well.
The Company
Very friendly, fun and inviting. Wonderful people!
Good and well organised. Intern meal at the end was lovely and a very nice finish.
The company invested lots into me although I couldn't see the driving side of the business.
Financial Bonus
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
Already sorted out a part-time job whilst I continue to study at uni.
The Culture
Nothing which I saw.
Lived at home with the branch a short walk away.
Just the area I grew up in. Nightlife is alright.
Some but not many.
