9a. Would you recommend Whitbread to a friend?

9b. Why?

It is very profit based. It’s a chain - like most chains they just want to see how much life they can drain before you go else where. If it wasn’t for the team, ide be gone

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

Use it as a stepping stone. Whilst you’re studying. Don’t get stuck in hospitality unless you love it so much you will make a career out of it. It’s very demanding and will take most of your social life out of the equation
