Management Trainee Review

My role as an intern is the same as a graduate where the role involves working in a branch which you see and learn the operations of a car renting company. The role involves primarily dealing with customers however the role includes looking at all areas of the business and gives you great exposure to aspects of the company which link to your degree.

Yes I have been given lots of responsibility. I have been given multiple captaincies and tasks in the branch to undertake when not serving customers. We are treated like full time graduate staff so we get to work like a normal staff member and basically do the job as normal.

I’ve developed lots of new skills. Primarily my confidence in speaking in public to lots of new people and in front of lots of people too, I have also learnt how to improve my customer service skills, I have also learnt leadership when delegating tasks but mainly I have learnt skills which you would learn when running your own business.

I have received lots of guidance from my colleagues, from my other trainees to also the management teams at my branch. Also we are given a mentor too to help track our progress and give us guidance. You also are given folder time and areas to work on with a member of your team which helps us too.

The culture and atmosphere is great. We all work hard but also we have fun too which is good as you can have a good time at work whilst working hard. There is never any issue which we cannot speak about and everyone is always willing to help.

I have really enjoyed the placement and would definitely recommend the placement to anyone who is thinking of doing one at university. It has exposed me to lots of business areas and helped me improve many skills. I would 100% recommend!

Yes
