Store Manager apprenticeship Review

Required to complete tasks given to me by managers complete pallets in times and unload cages whilst being able to comfortably work on the tills. Kept at a high pressure and work load. Be ensured to check dates on specific items and be able to card the store at all times of the day

Learnt to use a new till system more effectively, meet new people, work in a more concentrated and high work environment. Unload pallets and learn new skills such as unloading carding cages and learn where items are placed within the store. So far am thoroughly enjoying my time and has been a great experience

So far am thoroughly enjoying every aspect of the programme through whatever time I come in to the day and what time I go home there is always something to be doing and allows me to work hard with new people and allows time to go quickly and enjoyably. Great company

The programme is structured very well with new tasks for me to learn in order for me to be able to adapt over the for-coming months and years to learn how to be a deputy manager effectively so then I can perform this role when my time comes which is great

Since starting I have received loads of compliments and positive feedback from employers from the bottom all the way to the top which is really helpful and supportive. It allows me to remain positive when completing a task and not make me feel as though I am under pressure. We work well as a team

Due to the current situation across the country (covid 19) I have yet to have been able to begin this part of my programme as it would seem wrong to be going against government guidelines. I am sure once this has passed over this will begin and will help me to ensure I receive these qualifications

Again due to the current situation across the country this has not yet been possible with my training provider, however so far with the help of colleagues across the whole store it has allowed me to become a better individual and have certainly improved my role so far since being at the store

At the moment I am unsure of this due to the countries lockdown state however after this has passed I am sure there are many social activities that the colleagues may be involved in which I would be more than happy to partake in. Even whether it is something small I am willing to trial it!

Yes

I would definitely recommend Aldi to a friend. Not just as a store to shop in, but also as a genuine career path for the foreseeable future. It offers many great benefits for everyone. The benefits are great for those shopping as Aldi are a leading supermarket who are competitive with other companies

Remain positive and work hard if you are successful! When applying start research on the company and find key details which can help you stand out above others. These can include core values of the company or the store sizes or how many there are across the country or other countries for that matter
