Reviews
Forecasting sales, setting budgets. Loading promotions.
Creation of jobs, screening, shadowing lots of different areas such as phone screening, engaging in a wide array of meetings, solving queries from store managers. Editing job advertisements, working on a self-mangaged project.
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.
