  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Working in HR you develop many skills that are invaluable in the professional world. Attention to detail, organization, and time management are some of the various skills that I have greatly improved. Although HR may not be directly related to what I want to do in the future, the experience I have gained and qualities I have developed will go on to drive my success in the future.

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • RCI is the best of both worlds. You get all the perks of the corporate experience without the isolated, mundane atmosphere. The office is always buzzing and everyone is very friendly and welcoming. This is the kind of culture RCI strives to promote.

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • There was extensive product training, as to develop employees' familiarity with the company, and there are plenty of courses available to all employees to improve their professional skills. I, personally, was sent on a course to improve my knowledge of the field I work in.
