The Role
Very enjoyable working atmosphere
Asked for help or assistance when needed
Manager/supervisor and rest of the office have been very helpful
kept busy with routine jobs and projects but always have time to be flexible
Given some tasks that require a great deal of responsibility and professionalism
Skills I have leart will be very useful when I finish my degree and start working in this type of industry again
The Company
excellent
Fairly organised, some staff departures have distrupted certain parts however
Trained to use the databases and calibrate machinary (all necessary for the job) havent recieved any formal or additional training in other areas
Flexi Time
Company Parties/Events
Company appears to be expanding and I'll be looking at graduate schemes when I finish uni
The Culture
Often go out for a meal/drinks with collegues every other month or so, play 5 a side every week with other placement students and people from the office
very reasonable cost of living, not much in the way of nighlife
Wrexham isnt brilliant but chester and especially liverpool are much better and not too far away
I joined a gym, didnt have much time to do a lot else
