A very friendly and helpful environment with a lot of responsibility
Colleagues appreciate the work you do for them and are a good laugh too
My manager was always there to help me and provided me with lots of training opportunities and advice
Working in sales the workload fluctuated but in general i was kept busy
I had my own opportunites to work on and my own customers so i was given full responsibility over these deals
I had a lot of sales training which will help a lot in my career and i have also become a lot more focused
The Company
very fun and energetic atmosphere with a lot of works drinks and events
the internship was very well set up with a full month for onboarding
i was able to pursue any training i wished to attend and my manager gave me personal training as well
Subsidised Canteen

Above 25 days holiday
Working from home
Healthcare/Dental
There are direct routes to get back into the company such as sales academy
The Culture
