The Role
some really nice people in the company, some idiots. In terms of actual tasks, you hav to be pretty motivated to want to clean cars
the salary is £16,000 before tax [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyPlacement Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions]. Lord knows how people who get taxed live on that money. Your fellow colleagues are generally nice people
[This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyPlacement Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions]Had one decent assistant manager and one decent branch manager during my time
you start at 7:45am not 8am, and you will not finish at 6pm. Don't expect to have a life outside of work whatsoever as you are expected to bleed green
I got to run the fleet occasionally which was good. Other than that you are responsible for making sure the car you rent is properly cleaned.
The management folder I've been given will *look* brilliant to your uni and future employer. In terms of actual skills learnt, I'm not sure [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyPlacement Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] will really benefit me in many future careers
The Company
The banter in our office was great, 80% of the people in the office were brilliant. There are a few power-mad idiots but nothing major
you are lumped in with every other new recruit graduate or not, so you dont really feel like you're on a placement, which I suppose is good
5 x training days over 12 months 1 x training folder with various stages, vouchers etc
Company Parties/Events
Healthcare from home
Not a chance, [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyPlacement Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] promotions are done on who is pally with the area/city managers and who is well known
The Culture
I was the only placement student in my office, there was about 10-20 in the west midlands group and we got to know each other a bit at training days
£2.40 a pint £1 for a loaf of bread average uk prices
Cheltenham is a decent night out, it is a slower pace than any major city and only has about 4-5 clubs.
I wouldn't know, was stuck doing overtime (which you dont get paid for until you do over 200 hours total in a month).
