  • 4. How valued do you feel by Cushman & Wakefield?

    • Very, I think I have made my reconginiton on my own accord. When i started there were not many on the traineeship programme so i feel as though i had no choice. However i feel as though now, this is not the case with the new apprenticeship scheme.

  • 7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?
