  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • At the moment as i am not a manager i cannot put the learning i have done into action. So it is sometimes hard. My manager thought that the course was to work towards becoming a manager not already being a manager.

  • 9a. Would you recommend The AA to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • There wasn't an option for yes but no. I would because I feel that they adjust to help those who require to work certain shift such as childcare needs and allow people to do those hours they need. They also have a good wage for the hours that we do I wouldn't recommend because the hours are long if doing shift work and its not a Monday to Friday job so it wouldn't be best for young adult such as. Also I feel sometimes, its not what you know, its who you know to get higher in the company. Not always but sometimes.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to The AA?
  • Read the shift pattern and read the description of the job as it is long days and hard work.
