  • It is fairly ok. - NOT to many assessments but not to little either - fairly straight forward to knowing what's what in regards to anything and everything - if there are any issues they are well ironed out so there will not be any issues for the furure (fingers crossed!) But is ok

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • Not a awful lot of support - this could be a lot lot better - especially mental health support- when you're off on sick leave - they're not fully behind on my apprenticeship stuff Which can be very very annoying at times - since my trainer only visits every 4 to 6 weeks

  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
  • There is not many locally (within the Yorkshire and humberside riegon) but there is an odd one in London depending what you're into for social events - I'm not very into networking events as I'm not told about these through upper management which is annoying at times when you want to get involved with social side

  • No


  • 9b. Why?
  • They can be awful towards needing time off (no fault of my own ) and feel at a disadcantage through this - there was a lot about Greene king I was not aware off which makes things difficult which I felt like I should've known previously woudlve helped Lots prior to starting


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Greene King?
  • Heavily research Greene king - I cannot stress this enough to anyone ! Seriously do it before you even consider applying so you know what you're getting yourself into- I don't want anyone going through what I went through. But each to there own and someone else may say different
