The Role
I found it enjoyable but feel my skills were not tested to the extent i would like.
I always feel like a valued member of the team and have my own responsabilitys and tasks.
i recieved a lot of training on programs such as SAP and in skills and atributes that it was felt may aid my working year.
at times of the year i have had very little to do, at other times i have been in the office from 7am until almost midnight. Therefore i feel there has always been a good balance.
i have a large amount of responsibility and on some days will be placing and chasing orders somewhere in the value of a million pounds and am responsable for making sure that the customers get all their kit to maintain relationships with them through good service.
i feel as i ended up in a role that was not what i am specificly looking for will inrutn not benafit my final year at uni that much. but knowing what i know now will help me in career choices in the future.
The Company
there is a high profesional attitude towards work but a friendly working relationship between all who work here.
it was very well run. but due to restructuring i was unvolunteraly moved deopartments.
very little really.
Flexi Time
Sports and Social Club
Company Parties/Events

The Culture

i lived near surrey so it cost a fair bit but most live in reading and it is a little less.
it is good but not as good as uni!
