  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I enjoy the job although I don't feel as though its really as advertised, the actual job role is different to the way it was explained to me and I thought I would have a lot more customer interaction. work place wise prudential is a nice company, and the people are good, but it is an old company where most people have worked here since they were 18 and have never left so it's hard implement any change to procedures.
