    The Role

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

    • You do the same thing day in day, out. If you are good at what you do there is no chance whatsoever of progression off of the phones.

    1/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • All management care about is results, no care or consideration regarding students.

    1/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Was promised the world however after a maximum of 2 weeks management would forget you even existed and would have dropped the training scheme.

    1/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • You have to make ridiculous KPI's day in day out which are boring!

    1/5

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

    • I learn't that I would never ever consider going back into telemarketing or work for Quantum Marketing.

    The Company

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

    • Most days the office was empty as there were no campaigns running:: and every single member of staff was depressed.:::

    1/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Hideously! It is not a placement scheme, it is just a normal position which is in no way catered for a student carrying out a work placement.

    1/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Quantum will only invest in you when they see that it is beneficial for the organisation. No form of personal development whatsoever.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Reading isn't as expensive as the likes of London, but isn't by any means cheap.

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

    • Standard night out, nothing special

    2/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • You could play football on a Monday night, when it wasn't cancelled. This was funded by employees after Quantum forgot to pay their bill for the court.
