I started here during my A level studies. I enjoyed my time at Marks and Spencer. Interacting with customers from all walks of life really helped me to develop my interpersonal skills. I was trained on the shop floor, cafe and bakery department. This made me rather versatile for the business. I always had a great rapport with management and excellent feedback from customers this was proven by management reward schemes. I started here during my A level studies.
