The Role
A great experience and welcomes you to the real world. Employees are great fun and everyone is up for a real life. It's tough hours but really helps you prepare for the world of work with alright pay as well!
WOW! Couldn't have asked to work with nicer people. As soon as I walked in for my interview I was greeted with smiles. I have got to know them so well over the summer and although I'm excited to go back to uni, I am actually pretty gutted to leave everyone.
The management were so approachable and easy going so it was easy to go up and ask for help. They all supported me and gave me some great advice and I believe thanks to them that I have grown more as a person.
Sometimes we were so busy we were literally running around and at times it got very stressful and sometimes it was dead and we were quite bored. But I think thats what you get with any business. We worked as a team during busy periods to get the job done and had a joke around when no one was there.
I think you need to make yourself stand out and heard in this place in order to get more and more responsibility. This job involves thinking on your feet and doing what you think. I thought that sounded scary at first but I actually really enjoyed having lots of responsibility. Employees go to airport terminal on there own answering phones, doing admin, chasing ARs and obviously serving customers. It is essenitially running your own little business.
Definitely have gained skills for life. I have learned so much and will cherish this summer internship. I strongly believe it will set me above the rest. The job does get a little repetitive so you need to make sure you volunteer and just do work off your own back in order to get the most of it otherwise you are just checking people into cars and you don't see the otherside of the business.
The Company
Great, it was so much fun all the time. The employees definitely make a average job brilliant!
They have a lot of interns and new employees there and everyione is always coming and going. I mean you have to make yourself stand out a bit in order not just to be another new person but if you do everyone helps and supports you.
Lots of training days and event days were organised during my 4 months there in order to promote Enterprise and train us to be better employees. However, perhaps it could have been a little more organised.
Financial Bonus
Company Parties/Events
There are lots of good employment prospects with them and there are always people around to aspire to. It does involve lots of hardwork and many years of tough hours but I guess when you get to the top it's worth it. There are always goals for employees even the managers to become higher managers.
The Culture
Lots of young people woking there and all up for going out and having a great time!
Expensive but worth it for the experience.
Near London so pretty good but expensive.
Yeah there were competitions and things to win days out.
