    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • Working environment very stressful and never made to feel valued. Management extremely poor and MD disconnected with the business.

    1/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Management, especially senior management, were extremely unhelpful and generally make employees feel like poor performers. People management is non-existent. Fellow telemarketers were great but all loathed coming into work.

    1/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Very little guidance. Team Leader was somewhat helpful but struggled to get support from senior management.

    1/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Some days very busy and others there was a lack of control and scheduling and things appeared to be out of control and unmanaged.

    1/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Left to get on with the job but micro-managed when not meeting targets.

    1/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Cannot see any benefit from this placement.

    1/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Amongst the students there was a good vibe but in the office the atmosphere was depressed and lethargic. Some managers openly bad-mouthed others which made me feel awkward.

    1/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • This company is very badly managed and disorganised which affected the performance of myself and my team.

    1/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Little opportunity to develop and grow. Get the feeling they are extracting every last bit of life out of you because you will not be around for long.

    1/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • 1/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Even in these bad times I would not take up a placement at this company and would definitely not recommend it to any student.

    1/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • This wasn't bad actually.

    2/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Reading is not that cheap but does have some ok nightlife.

    1/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • 1/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • No.
