    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • The hours are long and the work sometimes repedative but things move at such a pace that the day passes well.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I felt very well appreciated by my colleagues and that my input was valued.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • I moved around a fair bit in my placement and though each branch was different they all did try to help me develop and I was able to pick up advice and tips from all of them.

    3/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Enterprise always runs very tight so expect to be busy all of the time and often juggling customers and calls.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • From the start I was put into serving customers, going pick ups and going on sketches where I would move several cars around in sequence away from the office without direct input from my management.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I think if you can stick a placement with ERAC that you will learn a lot of very useful soft skills in particular to take into university and further work.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • The office I was mostly based in had a really good level of banter and this helped the day progress.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • ERAC take a lot of interns and the structures are there however as I was moved a lot at the start of my placement I wasnt able to establish time to go through the required developments each week.

    3/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • 3/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Company Parties/Events
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • One thing with ERAC is that you progress quickly with the internal only promotion. Consequently though the basic pay is poor you can soon be earning considerably more as a manager though this heavily based on commission.

    3/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • I remained at home during my placement. There were area nights out however I was pre engaged then.

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • I remained at home during my placement.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • 3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • I felt there were not that many chances to get involved with other things outside work partly because with a 50 hour working week there was little time left in the week.
