experience - Administrative Assistant London Real Estate Employee Review

Independent work, easy to work alone

no value of time by employer

- work at a sophisticated building (the Gherkin) in the central London

* NO benefits; literally NO benefits including travel expenses. When I asked the man (the same italian guy you met at the interview day) about the reimbursement of travel expenses, he said he can pay for it upfront but it will be deducted from the amount you will get at the end of internship. * There were two girls with me on the first of internship but I didn't go there next day after knowing that the travel expenses are not covered. The other girls did not continue the internship after their second day, knowing that it's not worth thier time. * He is the only one who is working for the company and I did not meet the "Laura" who arranges interview. when we asked him, he told us that "Laura" is working from home today but I get suspicious that "Laura" can be him as well. The guy knows well about the people living in London and he takes advantage on targeting young people coming from different countries (such as european, asian) who are either studying or fresh graduates looking for a professional experience, to work for him. * This is just exploiting labour and a waste of time. * Instead of working for him to get professional experience, work somewhere where your effort is being paid and learn online to upgrade your professional skills
