    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • With the open door policy I feel comfortable enough to express concerns if they arise. Any job difficulties I have, I don't feel worried to question. No question is a silly question!

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

    • Everyday is a new day with new challenges and it is great to be kept busy with real work. Some projects will take up different amounts of time but there will always be something to keep you on your toes.
