Logistics Apprentice Review

I am a Logistics Apprentice and my daily tasks differ from what department i am currently on, as of right now i am on Goods In and my daily tasks involve: Moving stock that we get delivered into the racking and other sections of the warehouse so that the warehouse always has stock for the selectors to pick for the stores. On a daily basis I interact with the Goods In Deputies about anything related to the task at hand. As of right I don't have any interactions externally. My responsibilities include making sure I can adapt to each section of the warehouse quickly and efficiently so that I am able to do the work given to me with speed and accuracy and heavily taking into account of health and safety of myself and others around me. I don't currently have and projects. Everyday I come in and sign in at the certain section that i am currently working at and then I talk to the Deputies about my tasks for that day and then I go and complete my tasks.

I have learnt many new skills, I have completed and passed my Fork Lift training course, I have had many other training on other vehicles such as, The Bulk Mover and the cleaning trucks, I am currently working on getting my English Grade up so it is suitable for my apprenticeship. I have furthered many other skills such as: Teamwork, Managing responsibilities and working effectively, safely and Accurately. I have learnt a lot about the company and more about have it functions in the stores and how we at the warehouse effects the stores.

I Enjoy this programme tremendously because I enjoy developing new and existing skills. The people I work with and around are very supportive and I have no complaints about them at all, This programme has reached my expectations and more because I have the opportunity to learn more then I ever expected, I am thoroughly enjoying this programme that I am currently on. The company is incredibly supportive and are open to any suggestions and problems you may have.

As an Apprentice I feel very valued at Aldi because I get spoken to and treated like everyone else in the company and the managers give me the correct amount of appreciation that i feel is deserved. As an Apprentice internally I have the recognition I feel like I deserve and everyone in the warehouse knows my position within the team. When carrying out tasks other employees like to keep me involved if they need my help and always have task for me too do. I feel like i am a valued member of the team.

This programme is very well organised because the apprentices get monthly visits to see how we are getting on and too give us work which progresses us further through the programme, I have a large variety of support available to me if needed such as the section deputies and through my monthly visits. When i am given work to do to further progress me through the programme I can get support of people if required and I am given very clear instructions for what I need to complete. This programme is organized well in my opinion.

I receive a lot of support if I need it, My tutor helps me with work that i don't quite understand or if I am struggling with it. This support is very easily accessible as I can go to anyone in the warehouse and ask for help, if I face any problems I can easily talk to my personnel manager about them at anytime if I have any issues or questions. All employees are very happy to help support me if I ask for guidance or support.

I receive the correct amount of support from my manager and anyone relevant if required because I can ask for as much support as I need and it is very accessible as anyone in the warehouse can support me. If I have any problems or questions I can receive the necessary guidance. All employees have great attitude towards supporting me.

Currently receive £5.40 per hour. and don't need to worry about travel because I walk to work, i have no extra costs that I need to worry about for me to get to and from work

The company hold special events when the warehouse has reached a milestone such as they held an event when the warehouse had been opened for 25 years.

Yes

It is an incredibly supportive company and as a store the value for money is superb and if they wanted to know about the pay they would be very happy to hear about the great pay that Aldi has.

If you were applying for a job at Aldi the advice I would give you is in the interviews don't be afraid to ask questions if you have any. Also take every opportunity you get because the courses are very well done and it always helps to know more and be able to do more
