I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Ultimate Outdoors (Merry Hill, England)
Interview
The company appeared to be in urgent need of staff and opted to hire 16-year-olds, potentially to reduce labor costs. This approach raised concerns about whether the company prioritized cost-saving over investing in experienced or adequately trained employees. While giving young people opportunities can be positive, it seemed more like a strategy to fill roles quickly and inexpensively rather than a commitment to their development or long-term growth.
