Marketing Graduate Review

I have just completed my induction period, having joined the company this September. Overall, my experience has been nothing but positive so far. The team here has been really welcoming and accommodating. The induction period was planned thoroughly, giving us a fantastic introduction to the company. I feel this is a place that I will be supported throughout my early career with the guidance needed to succeed.

Although I am new to my role, as a Marketing Graduate at Premier Foods, I will be supporting the development and growth of brands by analysing consumer insights, market trends, and sales performance to help shape marketing strategies. I will work on innovation projects from concept creation through to product launch, and will also collaborate closely with teams across the company, giving me insight into every sector.
My favourite part of my role so far has been learning the details about the brands we work on and the ins and outs of the business. Seeing the sites and how everything works behind the scenes has provided me with a real foundation that will help me excel. I have also been briefed on future projects I will be working on, leaving me very excited about the future prospects at Premier Foods!

It is still very early days for me, having only just completed my induction. However, in the short time that I have been part of a team I have been welcomed with open arms. I feel like I have been given ample opportunity to share my thoughts despite being new to the team.

There are pay rises throughout the scheme, and I feel the pay reflects the level of knowledge and impact you obtain. We also have access to a staff benefits site, providing discounts for many things. The pension scheme is also highly competitive, setting us up for the future as well.

I already feel like I have developed a level of knowledge beyond what I would consider 'ordinary'. Premier Foods has shown me the kind of work environment I would like to be in, it truly feels like a place where I will be supported yet also challenged to push myself and grow within my career.

The induction period has been invaluable in helping me settle into the business. It provided me with a wide network of contacts and gave me the confidence to know who to reach out to for support.

As I’m still quite new to the role, it’s early to say for certain, but my work-life balance has been good so far. The team is supportive, and I’ve found it easy to maintain a healthy balance between work and personal commitments.

The culture is very welcoming and friendly, which makes it easy to settle in and build relationships across the business. As a food company, there is a real passion for the brands and products people work on, creating an enthusiastic and collaborative atmosphere. Everyone has been approachable and supportive, and there is a strong focus on helping individuals develop and succeed.

I would rate equality, diversity, inclusion and accessibility initiatives exceptionally high. The company run many schemes directed at specific groups such as LGBTQ+, ethnic minorities, all the way down to woman suffering with infertility. The company seems very on it with maintaining a positive environment for all employees. Again, I am very new, but it seems like the kind of place where when you raise an issue relating to inclusion etc, it gets addressed as soon as possible.

Yes

I would recommend Premier Foods to a friend because it has a very welcoming and supportive culture that makes it easy to settle in and feel part of the team. Although I am still new to the business, my work-life balance has been good so far, and the induction period helped me build a strong network of contacts and understand where to go for support. There is a genuine passion for the brands and products people work on, creating a collaborative and engaging atmosphere, and the company's commitment to sustainability, community support, and inclusion demonstrates its values as a responsible business. The support and investment they offer into their grads is unmatched compared to what I have seen peers offered in their early careers.

Again, I am very new so it is hard to say excellent for certain, however so far it has matched my expectations, it is just hard to say for certain as I have only really truly entered my role recently.
