Consumer Fleet Undergraduate Review

I would have liked to have gone out of the office a little more and had more face to face contact with customers. Overall the job was good!

Colleagues were very friendly and made me feel like one of the team.

If I ever needed any support or showing how to do something they were very happy to help. If they couldn't someone in the business would also be very happy to assist.

Some days were busier than others but this is the nature of customer service roles. If nothing goes wrong on one day then it is generally quiet.

Responsibility was given to me for important tasks. I wouldnt go as far as running the show but I was given responsibility to deal with everything that was within my level of position.

There is no doubt this placement will make me more employable and also assist in real life situational examples when it comes to university essay writing.

Generally quite a banterous atmosphere within the office. Some departments were more serious but Consumer and Marketing were always up for a joke around.

There was a transition period between me joining and getting all of the access I needed. It took 2 weeks to get email access and SAP access took a little longer. This is something I am told cannot be avoided though so i'm sure everyone did there upmost to get everything done in the shortest amount of time possible.

I was given training which will benefit me within the tyre industry, general corporate work and my university assessments. Overall I cannot criticise the training and development at all.

I would happily return to start my career with Goodyear as it is generally a young persons environment and a great place to get exposure.

I was lucky in making friends who were up for a big night out every weekend and also were keen to organise more social activities. This suited me and made the placement that much more enjoyable.

I come from Nottingham originally and would say that the cost of living in Birmingham and Nottingham are generally the same. Maybe Birmingham being a tad more expensive and the cost of fuel in Birmingham is much higher than in Nottingham.

Birmingham is a great night out with a massive student community. There is never a shortage of things to do on a weekend with DJ sets and gigs happening at Gatecrasher around once a month. Much better than Nottingham.

Football was a regular activity on Thursdays after work.
