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

    • Lead a team of 118 people. My role is about managing people and running a business rather than serving customers.

    10/10
  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

    • I have learned the theory behind decisions that have been made at executive levels, with me able to buy in and expand upon teaching better because of it.

    8/10
  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • I enjoy testing my brain to something else. Different challenges to my usual routines.

    10/10
  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • The programme itself is well organised, but it seems my company fails to understand the importance and demands of studying a degree apprenticeship alongside working.

    6/10
  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

    • I am supported in the sense that I am allowed to take time away to attend university, but there have been time’s when they have failed to understand the demands of a degree. Nobody from my company has asked about my progress.

  • 9a. Would you recommend McDonald's to a friend?

    • Yes

  • 9b. Why?

    • McDonald’s has supported me through my life since I left school, giving me an understanding of working life, learning and becoming myself and growing as a person.

  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to McDonald's?

    • Be yourself. Being you is truly important in life, and as an employer is something that I admire the most through the interview/recruitment process.
