The Role
Much better than expected. Good fun.
Got involved with some 'real' work and tasks.
Excellent guidance from all the staff and not just supervisors, everyone very willing to help.
Got a lot of work from different departments to gain experience across the board.
Was involved in genuine tasks but obviously in 4 weeks you wont be running the show!
Able to apply practical knowledge to the theory.
The Company
Good fun but everyone knew to get the work done too.
Well organised, knew what I was to do from day one.
Many of the staff took time out of their day to help me.
Financial Bonus
Company Parties/Events
Very good company, strong in their industry.
The Culture
Yes but many have children and so simply can't be as social.
Standard. Good area but mix if bars etc
Again central area good mix of bars and clubs if you want them.
Only there a month so not going to be that many opportunities.
