3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I am thoroughly enjoying my programme, I have completed and passed all of my assignments and now working towards my end point assessment. Everyone at Crosby has been really supportive and I was lucky enough to attend the residential trip via Crosby. Such a valuable and memorable experience. Was great to meet other students studying their L3 & L5 HR Consultancy.

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

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.)

Due to COVID this hasn't been happening but prior to that we had a social committee that would arrange social activities for the teams to get involved in - we would have a social night every pay day Friday. Also if there's any professional events that I want to attend my employer is very accommodating.

10/10

9a. Would you recommend Mitchells & Butlers to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

It's a great place to work, the people are amazing, it can be challenging at times being in hospitality but it is rewarding and you can build your career with M&B. I have been working there for 7 years now and in that time held 3 different positions and had a promotion. Highly recommend. Also the benefits package is fab - company car for mobile workers and 33% discount in all our brands. I couldn't imagine working anywhere else!

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Mitchells & Butlers?

Feel free to reach out to the recruitment manager to find out more information about the role, M&B and the Culture - we'd love to hear from you!
