The Role
The company is great, they really value their employees and treat them alot. The job itself can be quite hard, particularly at first as they gave me alot of responsibility. It's a very fast moving environment, with new releases at least every other week, there is always something new to think about. My colleagues were great though!
Great environment - very friendly and always willing to help and share workload if needed.
Always there if I needed to chat about workload or I felt under pressure.
It varies. Monday and Tuesday are always the busiest and a lot of adhoc things come up such as retailer presentations which may make you busier then you usually are towards the end of the week.
Soley responsible for pre-order forecasts. Also, retail planner for Play.com which felt quite big as they have never had an intern on their own account before.
