HR Operations Assistant Review

Very enjoyable year, I got given a lot of responsibility within my team and the year has definitely helped me decide on a future career.

I felt like a valued member of the team and respected by my colleagues. However, the team are spread all over the country therefore I only came into contact with some members on a monthly basis.

I had two line managers during my year and both were helpful in guiding me within in my role. I was given a lot of support during the first few months which helped me greatly when starting.

I was always busy within the week however it was a manageable work load. Certain events and projects did make me busier which meant I had to work overtime however it was rewarding to see a project end successfully.

I got given a large amount of responsibility during my year and I felt like an integral member of the team.

My communication, organization, work ethic and practical skills will definitely help me when returning to University. McDonald's provided many training courses and days to help my personal development in various areas from presentation skills to proof reading.

There was always a friendly upbeat atmosphere in the office.

It took me a few months to become properly established within my role due to it being quite a new position. However, for most of the year the placement was well organized very well.

I had a opportunity to attend a large variety of personal develop training courses throughout the year. I was also encouraged to ask to attend events or trips I found particularity increasing.

McDonald's does not have a graduate scheme however many placements students are asked to return if they have many a good impression throughout their year and there are positions available.

There are a large amount of placement students working at McDonald's, we all became close friends inside and outside of work. This made the whole year even more enjoyable.

Living in London is expensive however the overall experience makes it worth the cost.

East Finchley has a number of pubs and bars around the office however if you want to find Nightlife you need to go to central London which is fantastic and is only a few tube stops away.

There are a number of corporate events taking place throughout the year for example Christmas/Summer Parties, Charity Balls and competitions
