The Role
The training and pay was good and there are great promotional opportunities within Enterprise after you graduate, a great incentive to come back!
From managers to interns, everyone in Enterprise is treated the same. From the start of my placement I was treated with respect and never felt any different.
Support and guidance is always provided. All of the management team is approachable and if you ever needed more help, it is always given to you.
Because you are working in a retail branch, the days differed. On the less busier days, there is more training or going out on marketing calls, or catching up on admin. However, there can be some long days meaning overtime. However, this is all payed at a good rate, so I didn't mind working overtime.
There was an opportunity 4 months into my placement that due to management shifts, I had to act on behalf of the manager of another branch. This catapulted me into learning quickly how to run a successful branch which was exciting to learn and made me a very useful member of staff to my branch when I returned.
Doing this placement, I had the chance to learn about Sales, Marketing, Training/HR, Operations/Logistics, Accounting which has given me insight into lots of different job opportunities for the future.
The Company
The office was generally very positive. It helps to have a positive attitude at all times, because if a colleague was being negative, you could help change their mood, affecting the general atmosphere.
The training week at the start was a great insight into what was expected from us on placement and to prepare us for what branch life is going to be like. It also allowed us to network with other people in our situation and make some great connections, some that I will definitely be staying in contact with.
The training was good and constant. It was well structured so that 3 months into your placement you should know the standard ongoing of the business then at 6 month you have progressed to learn something more in-depth.
Financial Bonus
Company Parties/Events
At Enterprise there are lots of promotional opportunities within the retail branches and in Head Office after you have reached a certain level of management.
The Culture
We had area night outs, sport events, and casual drinks after work which was nice.
Reading is generally an expensive area due to being near London, but from going to University of Reading I knew what to expect.
The nightlife was good and it was an area I am familiar with due to going to the local University
Yes, there were occasional sports fixtures where branches would go against other branches; for example, football games.
