What should a good personal trainer be doing?

I just started working with a personal trainer to help me drop a final 6-8kg after losing 20kg over 2 years, but I’m a bit concerned that I’m not getting the right level of service from them. There wasn’t much of an ‘assessment’ before starting (e.g. no discussion of my experience in the gym, my current weight/goal weight), just a quick conversation about ‘building a solid foundation with compound exercises over the next 5 weeks’

I was also told I’ll be put on a nutrition and workout plan, but I’m already a week in and I haven’t received any nutrition plan and I’ve had to chase them to send me the workout program to stick to with during my individual workouts. As it turns out the ‘program’ is just one full body workout to do on repeat for 5 weeks with no information/guidance on progressive overload.

So my question is, is this what I should expect from a PT or am I being ripped off? I feel like the one workout I was given I could’ve found off Google myself and the only benefit I’ve received so far is having someone who corrects my form during the workout. Can anyone give some kind of guidance on what a PT should be providing for their clients?
