    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • I enjoyed my insight in McDonald's to a certain extent, due to the fact that the overall atmosphere of the work place was quite fun and filled with excitement. However at times the atmosphere had started to become more tense, due to the work load, however overall i enjoyed my stay at McDonald's.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • During my insight I felt extremely valued due to the fact that all the staff were very kind and considerate. I was also given special help and guidance so that I could improve in a specific section of work, however overall I felt valued during my time working at McDonald's.

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • I was given massive support during my stay at McDonald's. They would always tell me what I could do to improve my in my work, and the information they give is very important as it is very useful advice. At times when there is a problem the staff tend to get involved instead of helping me. Other than this fact my stay was great.

    4/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The skills I learnt in McDonald's taught me a lot about my real life as it taught me how to be independent and it also it taught me how I could manage my time, which came in hand in university life. The insight also gave me an insight on how work life is and what I should get myself prepared for in the near future.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • The structure of the insight was very organised as the people at McDonald's had a set plan which the will try and teach me, even though I was there for only a week, they structured it so that it was seamless, however there were some instances where we went off the designated plan but regardless of that matter the overall structure of the insight was great.

    4/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • The general atmosphere in my work place was filled with happy smiles and some serious faces . As when the majority of the time, mostly when the work load is at a minimum the workers are happy and can prepare the food with happy faces, however at the busy times when there are a lot of customers the atmosphere then suddenly changes into a tense one, due to the work load.

    2/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • The content of the day did help me in decide what work career path I wanted to go in, as i had to work a job with a very tense atmosphere and it was not for me, so i had switched to a career path where it now it is a very jolly and exciting atmosphere.

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • Yes, there were many chances in meeting other employees of the company as McDonald's is a work place were you either have to be independent or who have to work together as a group. There were opportunities and I had harnessed those opportunities and took every piece of information the other employers had told me.

    4/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • 3/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • Yes, during McDonald's outside of work,employers can get involved in something called McDonald's monopoly, this is not only open for the whole world. However there is only a special one for the employees, which is a very fun activity to get involved in due to the happy atmosphere, it also relieves all the employers with its stresst.

    4/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • Yes, most definitely as it would also teach them the importance of being independent and it will also teach them how the can manage there time properly. The insight will also give my friends and sneak peek to the work load and how the have to manage it and plan it out.

    5/5
