The Role
The experience was invaluable and will really help me in the future
Great team environment
Very much on a regualr basis, it was always clear where you were heading.
Genereally always busy in a good way, and very occasionally too busy, but from experience no more so than any other business.
You are encouraged to think for yourself, and make your own decsions.
Dealing with difficult customers and managing yourself and the team alike has given me invaluable experience.
The Company
great atmosphere in the branch, fun always had but never compromised on the quality of work that needed to be done.
Well organised regualr training and social events all at company expense. Goals were always clear with your own training folder.
Very much so although they know your only there for a year or so, they still keen on trainign and developing you until the end.
