Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Royal Mail Group to a friend?
Yes
Why?
They have supported me well, and I have appreciated how much I have grown throughout my apprenticeship with them. Although I can only speak for the finance department which is just a small part of RM as I haven't experienced the others areas of the business so can't comment.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Royal Mail Group?
Be prepared for a unique environment which other companies don't replicate due to RM's nature of business.
