9a. Would you recommend Greene King to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

Greene king is very good business to work in. Great benefits. Very friendly staff always makes you feel welcome. Only thing i would improve is the wages, do feel annoyed that i could have worked there 3 yrs and someone older than me does the same job as me gets paid more. But during covid, greene king has been exceptional with the employees making sure we're financially stable.

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

Referring back to my interview, i had a question, which got me the job, and it was is okay to lie in certain situations where one party feels bad but protect the other. I said its not okay to lie. But what I'm getting at is. Be yourself. Be confident, but be happy!
