Management Trainee Intern Review

I really enjoyed my placement with Enterprise. I learnt so many things about running a business that you can’t learn from university. It’s a tough placement to do, the hours are long and it’s demanding but the rewards are incredible. I’ve loved every minute of placement.

I always felt respected, included and appreciated by the people I worked with. My managers trust me to make the right decisions for the company and newer members of staff can always come to me for help.

The majority of my managers were very supportive, the odd one I didn’t feel like they cared as much about my progression but on the whole, very supportive both professionally and personally.

There is always something to do! From the minute you start to the second you walk out the door at the end of the day. The great thing about it is that it’s always different, you’re never on the same task for long so it’s really hard to get bored.

I was trusted to be the duty manager on several occasions throughout my year. I was trusted to act appropriately in every situation and managers very rarely questioned my decisons.

Personally, I’ve changed so much in the last year that ima completely different person than I was when I started a year ago. I’m so much more confident and driven now. It’s also really good now that I’ve gone back to uni because it’s easier for me to understand the theoretical side of my studies.

I work in a very busy branch with lots of different staff members. When you work with the right staff the atmosphere is great but on the odd occasion it can feel like you’re the only person at work. That’s only 1 branch though, generally speaking, whichever branch you go into is very friendly, welcoming and helpful.

Very well organised. The TA and TD teams are there from the very first day! Always on hand to drop an email to or call if you have any questions and incredibly supportive. They communicate with you all the time and make the transition from student to full time worker very easy.

Most managers really took a personal stake in my development, they put everything they could into helping me develop myself. On hand to call no matter what time of day or whether they work in the same branch as you or not. They’re family!

I’m so excited to go back and work full time with them after I graduate. I like to think I have a very exciting career ahead of myself with them.

The branch I work in means people travel from all over, meaning that it’s difficult to organise something. But when we all get together it’s so much fun. You make friends with everyone you work with anyway so you know at least 2 or 3 people are normally free to spend time with.

I live in a very expensive student area.

The night life is great but I was always too tired to go out!

There was some but not many close to me.
