Pros
Completed the fast track talent programme with XPO which is a 2 year scheme. It is a great programme and gives you lots of opportunities to understand the business, make contacts and learn and develop as a manger within the company. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. You are put into roles which challenge you but the support is always there if it is needed. Jenny and Chris who manage the programme are great. Really helpful, friendly and welcoming. They always make time for you if you need some support, advice or just a chat.
Cons
As a management trainee on the graduate scheme you do move around every 3 months. There are pros and cons to this as you get to see different areas of the country and different bits of the business as well but this can be difficult due to finding houses, joining clubs, making friends etc but you can ask to stay in a relatively close area and they will help you as much as possible.
