The Role
Fast paced but all employees are down to earth, upbeat and friendly
Became really good friends with managers and felt like a valued member of the team
Always willing to help and aid training, always approachable
Very busy days and long hours!
Became completely responsible for my own duties but could have benefited from having some more responsibility
My people skills have improved hugely, both in working in a team environment and also customer service. My organisational skills have also been honed, as well as my ability to work hard and achieve results.
The Company
Always laughing, never a dull moment
Could have had a bit more structure/formal training but oveall was set up very well
Intense initial training week and clear goals set out to be achieved, felt like the company did really want me to benefit and come back after University.
Flexi Time
Financial Bonus
Company Parties/Events
Healthcare from home
Have been offered a graduate position, will definitely consider taking them up - good promotion opportunities and clear structure for advancement within the company
The Culture
Had social events with collegues in my branch and also an intern networking event, but I was the the only placement student in my branch.
As I worked in a local branch, I worked at home, so living costs were very low...
Not many put on by enterprise that I was involved in, but I was aware of charity events like race for life, as well as the opportunity to go to Brighton for gay pride!
