It has had its ups and downs, but has in total been a rewarding experience.
Recognition and praise for hard work is inconsistent. I feel valued by my manager / department, but definitely not by the company.
There has been great deals of disorganisation throughout, but it has had enough structure to get us to our end goal.
Adequate support.
Manager - some. HR - none. Mentor- some.
Adequately - however when I am required to cover a job, I do not feel apprenticeship wage is adequate for the responsibility given, be it a good wage.
Yes many, however I do not utilise alot of these
Yes
Because it is a good working environment, there are many good people and the money is good for the work required.
