The Role
the best bit i enjoyed was working in the restaurant bit there was always better things to do
some needed help and would come to me which made me feel really confident in my work i felt i was doing good
they were really nice actually i was shocked by this but they were always helpful
Depending which area you work to how busy you'll be i was always busiest in the restaurant serving cleaning ect
I guess with lots of others working it was harder but i team meetings i was always putting my input in for the shop
The restaurant work was new skills i learned and really enjoyed i might go back to college to study cater just for that reason
The Company
It was always busy or had people in so it was never dull
very good seeing i got to change jobs and roles over my time there
personal training was good
Subsidised Canteen
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
Maybe one day
The Culture
If you get on with your colleagues it makes work 100% better in my view as they will be here for you when needed.
living was cheap but socialising depending on what we wanted to do could vary between average and expensive
Nightlife was great plenty of things to do for all ages which i think is amazing
plenty of things to do around the town
