  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • Warehouse operator. Currently a picker, so I gather and dispatch products from our warehouse to be sent to stores. Will be switching departments this month, and later this year when I switch departments again I will be doing differnt roles, such as checking stock within the warehouse, recieving stock in a goods in area, and transporting stock around the warehouse itself.

  • 4. How valued do you feel by Aldi?
  • Yes, my department leaders both treat me well and with respect. I am treated fairly like every other employee, and to some extent treated better.

    10/10

  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • The work side of the programme is excellent, there is a plan from august 2015 until december 2016 set up of where I will be and what I will be doing. The older apprentices are given time to revise in work hours for any exams they have had to take, and thusly I imagine I would be allowed this myself if I needed to.

  • 6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?
  • My training provided at work is there most days during the week, sometimes including weekends. The training provided from the apprenticeship program I see every month and he's always friendly and talks me through what he wants on that visit, eg to record me working, if I have assignment work to do.

  • 6b. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • The department leaders are always supporting me with my work, when I have had problems with pay before they checked into it for me with the payroll team. They are kind and understanding.

    10/10

  • 7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?
  • I earn much higher than the minimum wage for apprenticeships and as an 18 year old who still lives at home, I do not have many outgoing costs. I mostly waste my money.

    10/10

  • 8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?
