Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
My role consists of approving invoices, running LSMW's, preparing daily forecasting information and preparing other information to be passed around the business as well as an array of other work
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I enjoy it a lot, my lectures are well organised with plenty of supporting material and all topics are covered thoroughly without it being boring
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have learnt many new skills on the job, before coming into the role I was a complete novice and didn't know much about the accounting role but as I've continued to work I have picked up a huge amount of understanding
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
From a company stand point it is extremely well organised, Marston's has experience with many apprentices so they are seasoned veterans when it comes to providing the right support.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
A lot! My line manager was an apprentice through a very similar program so she knows the ins and outs of what is needed for me to grow professionally and academically
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
They provide a lot, although sometimes I feel as though some of it is unneccessary and uses a lot of time that I could spend on other things
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I am still quite early on in my apprenticeship but what I have learnt feels extremely useful and I think it will be very useful in the future as my role grows
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
We have a strong culture of going out as a team and socialising to build relationships and strengthen morale
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Marstons to a friend?
Yes
Why?
They are a strong company with a great corporate culture, friendly staff all the way up to the highest level and are just generally good employers
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Marstons?
Practice interview skills, they can provide for any gaps in your knowledge as long as you show them that you are driven, ambitious, social and would generally be a good asset to the team.
