Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Direct Line to a friend?
Yes
Why?
The company values are remarkable and you can feel that in your work environment. They welcome you with open mind. As an apprentice they don't expect you to know everything, besides they understand and support you through your journey. I always thought apprenticeship are for young people. Being at DLG made me realise anyone can learn anything despite of the age or career background. Senior staff are always willing to help and guide you. You can talk to them and discuss any problems with them. All the staff are always willing to help if you ask for it. They have training sessions were you can improve your skills .
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Direct Line?
Direct line is the company that values individuals skills and honesty. They do not discriminate you on any basis. If anyone preparing for the interview i would ask them to be honest in answering the questions. They want individuals who are willing to learn and be a part of their team.
