Overall, how would you describe your experience at Premier Foods?
I have just completed the initial two week induction at the company and have been really impressed with it. We spent the first week in head office learning about the business and the second week travelling to the different factory sites. This gave me a very good overview of how the company operates as a whole.

Experience & Company Culture

5/5
I have received loads of support from the early careers adviser during these first two weeks of induction. I have also had lots of communication with my line manager and buddy which will develop further as I start my day to day role.
How is your work-life balance?
4/5
As I have only completed the two week initial induction I am unsure how my normal work life balance will look but form what I can predict it will be a good balance. During the two week induction there was a good balance between work time and personal time, however you are staying in hotels will the other grads so are spending most of your time together. This can make it difficult to follow a usual routine.
