The Role
Only a 9 and not 10 because you have up and down days depending on how many leads you get
Fell part of the team, fitted in easily.
Lots of training, however asked to do extra things / progress. Would have liked more trust to do things like coach others
Felt pressured into making a lot of calls.
Wanted more responsibility
As a result of working at Astute, the uni have a similar telemarketing program - Tutor has given me offer of training callers. Would like to see where that goes.
The Company
Always good laugh/atmosphere
the recruitment process was good, and quite quick to employ
training at the beginning of placement, however wasn't developed
Subsidised Canteen
Financial Bonus
Company Parties/Events
Above 25 days holiday
Feel confident in coming back to Astute - potentially in different role.

Yes was good
Good nightlife
Football and events
