    The Role

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

    • Students are treated appallingly at this company. We are used as normal members of staff often doing managers jobs but for a student wage. Students are brought into avoid headcount issues and taken advantage of.

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

    • [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyPlacement Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] I was provided with no feedback through out the year, no reviews or regular meetings.

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

    • No training is not provided to students [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyPlacement Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] They should offer fewer placements and actually value them and provide them with a valuable experience. Many students spend days heavy lifting and filling pallets and lorries.
