    The Role

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

    • Working in the Franchise Management team at Disney was extremely difficult. My manager was very difficult to communicate and work with. I didn't enjoy working for this team at all and wouldn't recommend anyone working in the Franchise team.

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

    • As much as I tried, I didn't fit into the team and found nothing in common with them. In the end I only wanted to go to work do my job and leave. This was very disappointing as I was hoping to connect with the team.

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

    • My manager was very difficult and therefore didn't give me any support.

    2/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I was very busy to a daily basis. On some days I was too busy that I couldn't handle the work load.

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

    • I was given a lot of responsibility which was great.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Although I didn't like my internship at Disney, I gained a lot of experience and numerous transferable skills.
