What are the Best and Worst things about your job?

Best

Being able to move around the business for 18 months.

Worst

You have to be available to travel - you may apply to go to an operational team in Manchester, but if there is more need for you to be in London, that is where you will be asked to go (only on the grad scheme, some negotiation is possible).

What is the annual salary for this role?

Starting salary: £27,000 - £29,000

Current salary: £33,000 - £35,000

What hours do you actually work, on average?

Start: 08:00

Finish: 16:00

What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?

I benefited from knowing someone in the company already and they put a good word in for me. I still had to apply, phone interview, assessment centre - but it also helped to be able to learn about the ethos at Cadent; personable, respectable, eager to help.

Do you have any interview tips?

I was asked a lot about the company and industry, and in feedback was told my knowledge was not "standard". They only offered me a job because I performed well in all other sections.
