    The Role

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

    • This internship is enjoyable. There is great oppurtunity to deal face to face with customers as well as taking responsibility for the running of the branch.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Everyone in Enterprise gets along very well. There are a number of social events which enterprise arranges in order for people to get to know each other outside of the work place.

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

    • You do get a lot of support from your manager. There are times where you will need to be self sufficient however your manager is always on hand to lend support if anything becomes a struggle.

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

    • As I worked in an airport location I was extremely busy due to the sheer volume of customers. This was fine for me personally as I prefer to work in a fast paced environment but please be aware of this if you are working in a busy branch.

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • You are giving as much responsibility as you want. Again, as I worked in the airport there were times when I was the only member of staff in and so I really was running the show. There are great opportunities to really take responsibility for running day to day acitivities in the branch.

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

    • I really developed within my time at Enterprise. I feel I am a lot more confident in myself as there are times when you need to step up and make yourself heard. Again, there are also a lot of times when you are the one resonsible for the running of the branch so you really need to be confident in your desicion making abilities.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Everyone got a long very well, we were all friends and had numerous nights out together.

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

    • The only downside I would say is that I was told that there was an opportunity to stay on with the company part-time however this decision was changed at the very end of my internship and so I don't feel that was very well communicated throughout the internship, things were left to the last minute leaving me having to quickly look for a job as my internship was at an end and I didnt have anything else in place due to what I was originally told.

    2/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • The training we received was excellent and it continues throughout your time there. The itnerns are brought back together 3 times throughout the 3 months to have additional training and also to share their experiences with each other.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Company Parties/Events
    2/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Every intern has the opportunity to come back when they have graduated as a Management Trainee without going through the application process again.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • We were all great friends and still are! We still make the opportunity to meet up.

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

    • Socialising is not too expensive as you are right next to the city centre where you can always find something cheap to do.

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

    • The Glasgow night life is amazing.

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

    • I didn't really look at the opportunities outside of work.
