Apprentice Manager Review

Keeping the shopfloor to a high standard and working stock to ensure the shelves are fully stocked. Working on the tills and serving customers with the best customer service. Ensuring the shopfloor is a safe environment for both customers and employees. Checking stock is rotated and in date so that our stock complies with trading standards.

I have learned how to work well in a team and how to motivate and encourage others. I have also learned how to engage with customers and developed better customer service skills and become more confident in engaging with others. I have also learned how to manage others and ensure work is getting done at a reasonable work rate.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience on the programme as I have met some great people who have motivated me to work to a higher standard and I have learned a range of new things to help me for the future. I have been pushed to work my hardest and give the best efforts I can.

The programme has been organised/structured well and I had the time to do my work for my apprenticeship and balance that with my work life. The programme has provided a lot of information for me to complete my work and perform well. However I feel there could be more contact between the organisation and ALDI to inform each company of my progress and where it will lead to.

I have received great support from my employer and they have given feedback when needed and also helped with any queries I needed to complete any assignments. I do think that Aldi could give more structure however, so I know what is needed to know to progress onto future prospects.

I have received through support from my training provider as they have informed me of what I needed to know to complete each section of the programme. When I was unsure of anything my assessor was always there to help and made sure I understood everything clearly which helped in my practice of work.

The qualification provides me with more information to help me perform better in my role as I am more aware of all the situations in my work environment. It has also helped me develop the skills I have learned in store further with this additional information, which helps me perform betterment in my role.

I have attended visits to head office to see how logistics work and to see how other parts of the company work. I met other apprentices to see how they all found the programme which helped me share different experiences and learn through different points of view. I have also attended other courses Aldi have provided to improve our performance

Yes

Aldi has encouraged and pushed me to work my hardest and I definitely feel that I work for what I’m paid. The fast pace of the company ensures that there is something to do all the time and the work rate expected by the company is reasonable enough and I enjoy my time working for Aldi.

I would advise others that Aldi isn’t an easy company as you need to work hard in order to work well. However it’s a great company to work for so people must ensure they have the time and effort to put into their work as it’s a very fast paced job.
