    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • As it was my first professional role I enjoyed learning all the different aspects of business all combined in one year.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • You spend a lot of time with your colleagues in this role and therefore over the year they genuinely do become like a family

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • Guidance and support was brilliant. At the beginning there's a lot to learn but being surrounded by people who know the role inside out means you always get an answer when you're stuck and as a result you learn from it

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • The lower rating for this category isn't in anyway meant to reflect in a negative way, it is as a business just a very fast paced environment. Rather than doing a little bit of everything throughout the day, sometimes you have to wait for a quiet spell to complete other aspects of your work but at the same time this means you can get the majority of it done at once

    2/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • Once you get to a certain understanding of how a branch is run you are given the opportunity to fully run the show with regards to people and fleet management. You essentially are the boss for that time

    5/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The skills I developed at Enterprise are invaluable. The whole aim of the training folder is to teach you how to effectively run your own branch, therefore your own business. As this is what I have done since finishing my placement I've come to see how those skills are transferable and are definitely skills for life

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • The days can get very stressful and you are in close proximity with all of your colleagues for part of the day therefore one bad mood can create a bad atmosphere however this was if it was extremely busy, the general atmosphere is very fun and positive and this is then implemented by sales games or just the fact that your essentially working with people who have become your friends over the time you work together

    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • Very well set up. I had a training folder which I had to complete by the end of my internship and followed the tasks in this to help me get the maximum from my placement

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • I couldn't have possibly had more training and development investment in me. Though I was an intern I had the same tasks and training folder as an employee on the graduate scheme, even down to the interviewing process. As a result of this, I've developed my managerial skill set and am far more equipped for the working world

    5/5

  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
  • Financial Bonus

    Staff Sales/Staff Shop

    3/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • Personally I've always wanted to run my own business which is something I can now pursue, however if I was embarking on a graduate scheme I know that there would be a job there for me.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • Though we only went out a few times, they were brilliant nights out

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • My placement was in the area that I have always lived in so to me it was just normal but I live in Swansea which as a city is not extortionate

    4/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • Swansea is a student city so as you can imagine there is plenty of nightlife to suit all sorts of people, especially with Wind Street which is a street full of pubs and clubs

    5/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • There are many clubs/activities etc but the workday ends when everything is done so it can sometimes be difficult to attend these

    4/5
