One Graduate when asked what his work/life balance he told me it didn't matter as he didn't have an outside life anyway. Manager Interview: This arrogance continued into Area Manager interview, who it seemed to make it his duty to inform me of how well he had done to get in that role, the amount of work he'd put in and how great he was. Went through my CV and asked about my hobbies and told me that I would struggle to continue these if I was to get the role. Though in fairness, Enterprise made incredibly clear that the role is 48+ hours a week throughout the process.
