Pros
- Varied Work -Good holiday -Looked after well -Leadership is friendly (At least mostly). No "dictators". -Good office culture - Friendly, people willing to do things out of work, world cup sweepstakes etc. -Well organised placements (I am a Manufacturing Apprentice). Good variation of work between placements.
Cons
-Can be a high workload -Busy traffic out in the afternoon if leaving after 4 -One of many employees so can be difficult to get noticed or recognition for work -Everything needs so many signatures/paperwork, you will spend half of your time chasing other people up to do things for you! (As an Engineer anyway) -As an apprentice I do not get a work mobile phone and have no landline due to not having my own desk, meaning I have to use personal phone. Sometime get call in personal time and it's not great having to make calls to suppliers using my personal number.
