My daily tasks involved basic admin work. Once the admin tasks were completed each morning my day to day responsibility's would change depending on what project I was working on. It focused most on sustainably & improving customer experience.

Pros and cons of working at The Warehouse Group

Pros

  • The workplace environment and the people.

  • Pay was fantastic, as they did not even need to pay us.

  • Great HR recruiters, very helpful and always respond so fast.

  • Excellent, I really believe I have made myself better for future roles, and acquired lots of areas to self-reflect on.

  • The flexible work environment, the willingness to always help and guide.

Cons

    • The varied workload, but this was only an issue in the first few weeks.

    • I did have to move desks often, and it was difficult at times when my mentors sat further away based on the hot desking.

    • For future roles, it will be great with the job experience, but I believe there won't be much development in my role as after the internship is done there isn't room for us to be employees.

    • "I cannot specifically remember questions, but it was a lot of self-reflection to see how I could base myself in this role.

    • One final session on what us as interns did well, and what should our next steps be in our employment in any business.
