A fair bit, I had a 1-2-1 trainer who spoke with me at least once a month in person, though it took 4 months to have a trainer assigned

Yes most definitely

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend BT Group to a friend?
No
Why?
The internal staff/business culture has become very disconnected and isolating for frontline workers and the demands of targets, business expectations, and the salary are not on par with that of external customers, the quality of the product or the quality of the systems/business plan being used.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BT Group?
Only apply if you're applying for a corporate role
