  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • Doing the jobs other people don’t want to do, not learn anything at work only at the bmw training academy. Currently in my third year, don’t get helped at work, just get used for cheap labour and no decent money is paid.
