Overview of the Role
Overall, how would you describe your experience at Premier Foods?
Good. Large company that has to move at a fast pace (FMCG), therefore gives you a great opportunity to learn and develop quickly!
What are the main responsibilities of the role and which elements of the role do you enjoy the most?
- Monitoring brand performance
- Managing social media page and communicating with agencies that produce content -> outside of my comfort zone so challenging but enjoyable to execute impactful content.
- Leading on projects for EPD/NPD. Building rationale for these. -> this was my main interest / enjoyed the most as it feels so tangible.
- Supporting in brand days

To what extent does your role give you the opportunity to contribute meaningfully and feel valued by your team?
4/5
It's what you make of it. Opportunities are there if you seek them out.
How does your compensation package - including perks & benefits - fairly remunerate you for the work you do?
2/5
No bonus despite contributing to the business, and fixed pay for all grads, not indicative of performance review. Equally, for being so close to London, you may expect slightly higher salary as most live in London.
How well do you feel the role is preparing you for your future career?

Lots of training days and opportunities to get involved in meaningful tasks, but it's what you make of it, you have too seek out being tasked with more.
