Was a fair working experience
Daycare Worker (Former Employee), Lima, OH – July 18, 2012
Pros: happy children
Cons: sometimes pay would but cut or not paid on time
Working at BBC taught me a lot. Everyday at work i was greeted with little smiling faces that brightened my day. I learned how to interact with small children and make effort of my day. Management was great but sometimes coworker would get off task and it would make the day just a little bit harder.

Dont waste your time
Account Manager (Door-To-Door Sales) (Former Employee), Woburn, MA – July 16, 2012
-Glorified Door-to-Door Sales job.
-Fast track to management? they have one office, which is over flowing with people, always hiring because there turnover rate is so slow, promise advancement when literally two companies share the same building.
- Dont need a college degree to work there, you could drop out of high school and sell Verizon FIOS door-to-door.
- – more... If looking for a serious career not just a waste of time go elsewhere.
- Every applicant will get an interview and they will make you feel special about yourself and ask you back for a 2nd interview the same day to make it look like your extra special to them, when in fact a monkey could be over qualified for this job. – less

a very chilled and hard working work place and i felt welcome
work experience student (Former Employee), chelmsford – August 4, 2012
Pros: friendly workers
Cons: 24 hour job every day
from what i witnessed watching all the workers they were stressed and worked hard. it seemed like a typical day at work and i like that. i learned a lot from the time i was there which was only a day. i learned that people had to stay calm under sharp deadlines and everything was done on a tight scheldue so that no one had nothing to do. the people – more... i was with on the day were very friendly and would tell me about their job role. the hardest part of their jobs were that they had to keep on track with the scheldue as it was all live. they had to stick with it and not go over time or mess up. the most enjoyable part of the day was that i was live on radio with the presenter and was such an incredible experience. – less

Work placement
Work experience (Former Employee), London – July 9, 2012
Pros: great working environment and perfectly located
Cons: late start and late finish (10am until 6pm), would have preferred earlier day
An average day would include taking part in meeting to discuss features for the weekly issues, designing quizzes, puzzles and specific weekly spreads associated with the show (Doctor Who). The most interesting and useful aspect of the experience was the work I completed on InDesign, a software program that is used throughout various forms of publishing, – more... media, marketing e.t.c.

The staff at the BBC were fantastic, always there to assist me with any queries or concerns that I had. I would say that the most enjoyable aspect of the experience - and also one of the most challenging - was working with a product that is required to be consistent and fresh week in and week out. It required you to remain enthusiastic about the show, but inventive and creative every time you worked on a particular feature or spread. – less
