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

Working in an office based sales and pricing role, processing quotes and orders for a leasing company

7/10

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

Yes - how to effectively manage my team and build positive relations

7/10

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoy the face to face classes. The online work is very dull and hard to get through due to the amount of videos which can be a bit of overkill (i.e. several videos with the same message are unnecessary)

5/10

4. How valued do you feel by Lloyds Banking Group?

Valued for my work but not at the correct grade for my role

7/10

5. How well organised/structured is your programme?

Badly organised. I have not yet met my talent coach and have just been assigned yet another person.

1/10

6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?

Very little - I have to contact Kaplan - they are not pro-active

1/10

6b. How much support do you receive from your employer?

My manager supports me

8/10

7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?

I'm not sure if this applies? Costs are charged through expenses

5/10

8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?

I haven't had any

1/10

9. Would you recommend Lloyds Banking Group to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

If you have a supportive line manager like I have then I would recommend here. Without this it can be a difficult place to work as everything is 'managers discretion'

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Lloyds Banking Group?

Be prepared - this is a big company and it is full of processes and restrictions which you may not be used to if you have come from a smaller company or are just starting in work.
