    1/10

    1/10
  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

    • Personally I wouldn’t recommend life time training to go with when applying for an apprenticeship, personal experience the trainers do not come out and visit you, they don’t keep in contact with you, I mean it’s May nearly June and I haven’t heard from my trainer since December. In all honesty if you’re going to become an apprentice I wouldn’t bother going with lifetime training! They just want to keep you on minimum wage then moan at you for not completing any work when they haven’t given you any assistance or guidance to complete it!

  • 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.)

    • Nope.

    1/10
  • 9a. Would you recommend Greene King to a friend?

    • Yes

  • 9b. Why?

    • It’s a good company to work for.

  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Greene King?

    • Don’t do an apprenticeship, but working for Greene king itself as a normal employee is good
