The Role
I really enjoyed my year working for Golfbreaks, and would recommend the opportunity.
Everyone in my team supported each other.
My Manager was very supportive and was there if I needed her, she had also previously been a placement student so was very good for guidance.
Day to day I was very busy, as were the rest of the team, but there was always support there if you were overloaded.
When I first began I was surprised at how much responsibility I was given, my role directly impacted on others in the department.
I would definitely say that my placement year has been worthwhile. I learnt a lot about myself and where I want to be in the future, also my skills in business have improved which will help me long-term.
The Company
Everyone knew each other and the atmosphere was very positive, you could approach any of the Managers for help.
Initially you have a broad training schedule and then move into your individual department. My department was very well run, and so my placement was well organised.
During my time I did have a few Accountancy lessons run by my Manager which were really good, unfortunately they were not a regular thing though.
Company Parties/Events
The Culture
Windsor is a very expensive place to rent.
Windsor is a relatively quiet place.
