  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I like the apprenticeship company and the retail qualification however it doesn’t always link to Aldi. I like the store and the people I work with massively.

  • 4. How valued do you feel by Aldi?
  • Not at all the company doesn’t offer me enough hours or pay compared to new starters who earn more than me and have less responsibility. Which makes me feel undervalued. I also don’t get any work perks and the apprenticeship doesn’t match my job role in anyway along with communication between Aldi and the apprenticeship provider is also poor.

  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • The apprenticeship provider is great however it doesn’t always link to my job making it hard. The communication between the two however isn’t great.

  • 6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?
  • A lot they are fantastic [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyApprenticeship Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] has done a lot to help me get it done early.

  • 6b. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • A lot the store managers help me in every way possible along with supporting me fully in the job.

    10/10

  • 7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?
  • Okay it doesn’t allow me to save a lot as I don’t get paid as much as year one starters which isn’t great. But in terms of transport it fine.

    7/10

  • 8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?
  • Nope.

    10/10

  • 9. Would you recommend Aldi to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • It’s a great company in terms of my store and the people I work with. However I wouldn’t recommend the apprenticeship based on the pay, hours, lack off staff perks. If it wasn’t for the people I work with I wouldn’t enjoy my job as much.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Aldi?
  • Make sure you have plenty of free time and are fully committed to working hours and supporting the team and store you work with.
