Pros
Pay, at best? Got to see some future cars. Training courses. Career progression, once permanent.
Cons
Literally did NOTHING as part of my 12 month placement at JLR. I was given fake/meaningless work to be out of sight, and stopped asking once I realised. After that, I literally was just asked to do minor tasks like I'm slave 'get this part for me from the line' . You barely see your 'assigned' manager. Managers don't give you their cars even though they don't own them and require a genuine business need. Complained to my manager that I had no work, still wasn't given a proper structure of work. No defined advice to undergraduates who have crappy managers as well as those that might not like their departments. Seems like everyone were thrown at random.
