Management Trainee Review

The role begins as a management trainee for all employees. Daily roles include (but not limited to): delivery/collection of vehicles, cleaning and auditing of vehicles, formulating customer contracts (retail, insurance & corporate), fleet management, financial statement work, leading meetings with clientele, corporate marketing and managing the branch.

Their is a lot of responsibility and individual autonomy given within this role, such as managing and being accountable for your own section of the branch eg. service, sales, growth etc. This is rotated every month or so. As you develop further you may also begin to the 'run the day' where you effectively run the branch for leadership experience ready to be promoted. There is a lot of opportunity for quick promotion but in turn requires you to be self-driven and you are accountable for your own training and level of progress.

Customer Service skills, becoming comfortable in stressful scenarios, leadership skills and accountability of tasks/areas of the branch, working individually and collaboratively efficiently

In terms of training there was solid support network, however alot of the challenges are left for you to deal with and can be overwhelming at some points such as working too many hours or stressful situations

Very competitive sales environment but everyone wants you to succeed there is a lot of opportunity to grow and helps you perform better overall.

I enjoyed my placement overall, there were definitely some challenging points where I struggled and became demotivated for small periods, but overall my personal and professional growth was far better than I could have ever expected. I would recommend this placement if you are willing to work hard and can sacrifice work later into the evenings. Whatever you put into this role, you will definitely get back out.
