4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

8/10

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

Everyone is supportive and willing to give you time off needed to complete your studies when need be. I would say however dependent on the team/division some teams suffer from being understaffed so there are some days which are longer than others

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

6/10

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

Don't really see a lot of applicable factors in my role to be honest

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.)

Apprentices/Grads have weekly social events such as football, netball, tennis and of course everyone's fave Thursday night down the pub x

9/10

9a. Would you recommend L'Oreal to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

Good company to work at to get a foot in the door in the industry, also it's so big that moving between divisions would probably be the same as moving to a whole new company.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to L'Oreal?

Thoroughly research the company but most importantly the role you would like to work in to gain an understanding of the day-day tasks. Look for people's LinkedIn's with the role and connect and find out more about it as well as the career progression options.
