The Role
Felt welcomed as soon as I arrived.
Very often too busy, running on skeleton staff.
The Company
Great atmosphere! Everyone I work with has a similar attitude to my own, so we all got along really well.
Very well organised, I always knew what I was supposed to be doing and when I was supposed to be doing it. Everyone one that worked there also knew how it worked, if I ever had any questions.
They taught me everything I knew! Training is a big thing, though at times it was so busy in the branch I struggled to get the time I needed on a regular basis. But managed to get it all done anyway before the placement was over.

Got a job I love. What more could I ask for?
The Culture
Would happily spend my free time with anyone I work with, and have!
I live in York, so its not astronomical. But it is definitely on the pricey side.
Neither here nor there. Good cocktail bars.
