  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • A normal day would involve me working he produce, helping with the ambient, helping finish the paperwork, having a till and then just keeping the shop looking good by decarding aisles and tidying the warehouse.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • Yes

    7/10

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • It’s good but you do mostly the same work as other people with no time allocated for any coursework. Therefore, you have to do the coursework in your own time which is a bit annoying.

  • 4. How valued do you feel by Aldi?
  • Not very at the moment to be honest. It used to be a lot better back when i first started my apprenticeship but now they expect so much more of you with less time to do it.

  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • I went without having contact from any trainer for roughly about a year. I had asked my area manager multiple times to sort this but he didn’t meaning I had to try and sort it myself. Now meaning I’ve had to cram a lot of coursework into a smaller space of time than it needed to be. My new trainer is much better though so that helps.

  • 6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?
  • Not very much as I stated above they basically forgot about me for a year which is quite ridiculous. It is starting to get better now though but I still will have only actually met my new trainer twice by the time I finish my apprenticeship.

  • 6b. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • At work I get far more support than through my training provider. They have all been great with me from start to finish and no question is ever to stupid so I’m thankful for that.

    10/10

  • 7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?
  • The salary is as good as you’re going to get for an apprenticeship scheme so I can’t really complain about that.

    6/10

  • 8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?
  • No, not really.

    2/10

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


  • 9b. Why?
  • It’s a good place to work if you can work hard enough. It pays well and the staff are all friendly enough too.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Aldi?
  • Work hard and just get on with it.
