The Role
Great Year- great people, good social life and exciting company to work for.
My manager, mentor and other colleagues gave lots of help to me, even staying later on occasions to help.
Opportunities to further job and see other areas of the business if wanted.
Always had something to do, maybe sometimes too much, but other colleagues always willing to step in and help.
Lots, in my time there my job role gained lots of new responsibilities.
The placement year has left me focused to achieve a good grade in my degree
The Company
Good balance between having a laugh and being a professional environment
All seemed to run smoothly
I didn't get any personally but know other job roles did.
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
Hopefully- Not sure at moment, would go back if offered
The Culture
Lots of fellow undergrads, over 60 in Luton so good social life.
Luton was fairly cheap for housing
Luton wasn't the best, but good nights out in St Albans, Milton Keynes and Watford
Played Football, Rugby and Golf through work.
