Operations Manager Review

I run the retail and hospitality for the University of Sussex ensuring exceptional standards are set and met, whilst driving efficiency

Yes, broader business management skills

Programme was often disjointed form the provider side, with little support available from tutor. Employer was able to offer me increased exposure and opportunities to work in other areas of Compass Group

It was okay, final year modules were offered but not all available so i didn't get to specialize in the subjects i was most interested in

My initial manager was great and made sure i had time and autonomy to do the work.

A pretty standard amount, i prefer to work fairly independently but was often left waiting for advice and support which was delayed.

It gave me a broader understanding of how other functions and department operate not only in the hospitality industry but other industries that i could draw on in my day to day. I was also able to have better more directive conversations with SME's

No,

Yes

Faultless in terms of offering and supporting development activities, the only thing that is challenging is the opportunities for progression and application. This often makes me look elsewhere for a role where i can implement and pursue these areas.

Look past the initial role and see the potential for development and pivot into other areas that may be of interest
