10/10

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

10/10

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

Enjoyed the outcome, COVID unfortunately delayed how long the course went on for.

8/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

Was very organised to begin with, but when COVID came, changing who was looking after me became disorganised. As I kept having to go through the same stuff with each person. Communication between advisors could have been better.

7/10

5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

Lots of support, my GM who was my mentor was brilliant every step of the way.

10/10

6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

Had to chase training providers a couple of times as meetings were missed without letting me know why they’d cancelled appointments.

5/10

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

Unfortunately the qualification I got was behind my own progress with the job. I’m currently moving into an assistant managers role and have only just passed level 2. Again not helped by COVID.

5/10

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.)

Not currently

5/10

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

Yes

9b. Why?

The company is brilliant to work for and there are a lot of opportunities to progress. My experience just wasn’t helped by COVID.

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

Look into the apprenticeship scheme, although my previous experience wasn’t the best. I still want to use it to progress up the ladder. COVID was a huge factor in my personal experience. If it hadn’t have been for that I would have enjoyed this part of the scheme much more.
