The Role
HARD WORK. HOWEVER, THE COMPANY RECOGNISE AND REWARD HARD WORK
EVERY EMPLOYEE AT ENTERPRISE STARTED AT THE BOTTOM. EVERYBODY KNOWS HOW YOU FEEL AND TREAT YOU LIKE FAMILY INSTANTLY
THE FOLDER THAT YOU HAVE TO COMPLETE IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON TEH SUPPORT FROM MANAGERS, THEREFORE, SUPPORT AND GUIDANCE IS ESSENTIAL
ERAC IS A BUSY ORGANISATION AND VERY FAST PACED. YOU NEED TO BE WILLING TO WORK IN A FAST PACED ENVIRONMENT.
WHEN EXPERIENCE IS GAINED, OU WILL BE GIVEN THE RESPONSIBILITY OF RUNNING A DAY IN THE BRANCH
GREAT SKILLS. LIFE SKILLS. COMMUNICATION, CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS AND MOREOVER, LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT SKILLS.
The Company
ERAC IS A BUSY PLACE AND THEREFORE SOMETIMES, THE ENVIRONMENT CAN BE STRESSFUL, HOWEVER, THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME, TEH BRANCH WAS A FUN AND FRIENDLY PLACE TO WORK
EXCELLENT. VERY EXPERIENCED EMPLOYER OF PLACEMENT STUDENTS.
EVERYTHING THAT I COULD HAVE NEEDED OR WANTED, ERAC WAS ABLE TO GIVE INCLUDING A JOB AT THE END OF MY INTERNSHIP.
GAURANTEED PART TIME WORK AND A SECURED JOB AT THE END OF UNIVERSITY.
The Culture
FAIR TO GOOD. OCCASIONAL NIGHTS OUT.
HULL - FAIRLY CHEAP, RENT IS REASONABLE. EASY TO GET TO WORK
HUL IS FAR AWAY FROM ANYWHERE ELSE. NIGHTLIFE IS OK, HOWEVER, NOT THE PLACE FOR YOU IF YOU ARE AN AVID NIGHTLIFER.
HULL IS A GOOD PLACE, HOWEVER, NOT A GREAT AMOUNT OF FUN ACTIVITIES AS IT IS SO FAR AWAY FROM ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE COUNTRY.
