  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I love the environment I work in and all the people. However the only down side is the hours are painfully long especialy when you are having to be up in your feet all day. And the shifts are at different times as there aren't set working hours for everyone which makes it tricky to maintain a life outside work.
