We do receive a lot of support in the fact that they sometimes listen to our needs but they do not help mentally as much as a big company should

4/5
I was helped a lot my by training provider, as they always answered any questions I had and a question was never a stupid question. if I needed something explaining further she was happy to do so. This made my experience a lot better for me.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend B&Q to a friend?
Yes
Why?
I would recommend as they are overall a good company to work for. They do give you opportunities and it is a great team to work with within the stores.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to B&Q?
Have a basic knowledge on everyday things that go on around the house as you never know what question you are going to have thrown at you. But don't be scared to as a colleague as they are all very helpful and were all new one day.
