The Role
The job involved a variety of activities which made it more enjoyable for the fact it provided variation on a daily basis
Sometimes the job would require us to work after closing hours, however, management and colleagues valued this extra effort
More support through the training file would have been beneficial and enabled me to get through it at a faster pace.
The days would often flow quickly as there was a lot to get through, however, it made the day go very rapidly and it was soon time to go home
I was provided with a lot of empowerment throughout my job
I feel i have gained a lot which i will be able to use throughout my working career
The Company
It was a very relaxed atmposhere, and there was always external activities to the daily business where colleagues could interact
The placement involved performing the same activities as a graduate and they had fully prepared my arrival with the production of my training file
They provided a variety of training courses to aid my knowledge and provided a wealth of information to learn how to run a business
Financial Bonus
Company Parties/Events
I will be looking in to returning after I graduate but will also look for other jobs to keep all options open
The Culture
Everyone i met in the comapny was friendly
Bonuses helped to increase my income
Great! Lots of work nights out
