Experience & Company Culture

How is the support you receive?

Programme was set up with a mentor a buddy a line manager and with HR calls whenever we deemed necessary. There was also a specialised graduate HR lead who was always there.
How is your work-life balance?
5/5
I feel comfortable being allowed to take time out of work if necessary. Flexible hours also allow me to work earlier and finish earlier if needed for events ongoing outside of work.
What is the organisational culture, values and general atmosphere like?
5/5
Fantastic welcoming culture hierarchy is clear but without barriers of communicating up the hierarchy and with clear abilities to challenge.
How would you rate Premier Foods initiatives when it comes to equality, diversity, inclusion and accessibility?
5/5
There are programmes and initiatives in place that are geared towards equality and I&D and hope these create a positive atmosphere for the above. However I am not the best person to judge.
How would you rate Premier Foods CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) initiatives?
5/5
Policies are in place and initiatives seem closely followed. However, again my work is distanced from these initiatives
