Logistics Apprentice Review

I am a Logistics Apprentice on a day to day basis I work very close to the management team learning how they do their job roles in there specific section and so they give me certain tasks such as taking control of the intake or managing the staff, every three months I change area ie chiller,ambient,goods in and racking

I have learnt how to operate a lot of MHE that I never could before I have also gained my English at a C level GCSEs I have learnt many new communication skills and also I have learned how each area of the warehouse effects sales and productivity

I some what enjoy this programme I feel like our training provider (Mantra learning) has a negative affect on this programme, the work its self is enjoyable as long as is there is variation but if not then quickly comes tedious, most of the members of staff are good hard workers, the early starts (4:30am) which is the morning shift I feel is more like a night shift, I had very high expectations of this course and so far it has failed to deliver

No, I feel under appreciated by my most members of management apart from my direct manage who does a very good job at making us feel welcome and appreciated at the company, I believe there is a bad reputation with apprenticeship name and so most of the time we get used for cheap labour, Mantra are very poor at making us feel appreciated and treats us like children.

To start with the course was very messy and had no structure to it but after our direct deputy changed things have been a lot more organized, our previous training provider First 4 Skills where great but now Mantra has taken over it has become unorganised once again.

little to none since mantra has taken over, they are very poor at organising meetings and also the meetings are very sloppy and they feel like 0 progress is being made and if we have a problem its useless going to them as they struggle to give us a direct answer and seem to lack knowledge on how the warehouse works and will often try to avoid questions when asked

My direct Manager is great at giving us support has he has a wide and in-depth understanding of how the warehouse work and all situations that can occur. Some times the attitude towards us is very poor and I get looked down upon.

As someone who Lives with family still it is great I get paid enough too help my family out and also pay bills such as my phone and internet, I also have enough money when I get paid too have fun with my friends in social situations

yes there are plenty of opportunities outside of work such as gyms and sports clubs I attend a gym for a little while and that's what I used to do after work but the more and more work I started doing he less I went due to being stressed and tired, when i'm not working I spend time with my friends and family.

Yes

Because they pay is very good for most situations and also there is room for growing and working way up though the ranks of the company

I would suggest being physically fit and also fowling strict guidelines, I would suggest dressing smart and putting yourself forward as a very hard worker and willing to learn the role to your full potential
