9.8/10

1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

Deductions and price claims. I review invoices sent by customers on promotions and investigate whether they are valid or not. I also review a spend file to help support the sales team and check if they're over or under budget for the month.

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

I've developed my confidence massively in this role and have learnt new excel skills, and how to use different transactions on SAP.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I really enjoy my program as I've had a chance to work in the operations decision support team which is very technical and I'm now working in sales finance which has given me a broad understanding of finance within a company.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

Very well structured - Nestle support your goals so I made the choice to stay in my previous role for a longer period of time to develop more understanding. Due to Covid - they also extended my time to complete my exams for my apprenticeship.
