    4/5

    3/5

    5/5

    1/5

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

    • Customer service/sales skills for life. Training enhanced knowledge and will help greatly with further studies, especially HR modules which I have chosen to do next year.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • So busy and vibrant. A great team of people. Sometimes due to long hours it can be difficult to maintain enthusiasm.

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

    • Lots of interns are now managers, so the exposure and training is great. It has been tried and tested, and everyone above you has been in the same position before, and understands how you feel.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • They invested a lot into the training and development, someone is always on hand to help you improve.

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

    • Financial Bonus

    Company Parties/Events
    1/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • A great way to gain good management experience, and quickly. However due to long hours and commission based salary, it is always a lifestyle choice/ financial gamble.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Lots of young people, so plenty of peopleon the same wavelength that want to go out and have fun.

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

    • The wage is perfect for an intern living at home. Plenty of cash to spend in the area on leisure. I have had 4 holidays out of it also. If you had to pay rent... then perfect things would be a bit tight.

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

    • Currently a great scene for nightlife. However, you get placed at different branches all the time. Previously I was at a branch where the nightlife was minimal.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Out of hours team, charity runs, cycle to work scheme... There's enough.
