Apprentice Review

My day would normally consist of stacking pallets with the products we get in and wrapping them securely and within warehouse guidelines to be sent out to the stores. Along side with slotting up product for the next day on a bulk truck. Making sure I'm signing out all MHE that I use as the day progresses.

I've learned the importance of health and safety, learned how to drive a LLOP and BULK truck alongside with learning how to stack a pallet or pallets on top of each other with the correct form, learned manual handling. Also developed my social communication skills (Speaking, listening), became more confident. I've learnt the importance of warehouse safety, how to stick to company guideline with pallet stacking and gained some knowledge that goes on in the warehouse environment.

I'm really enjoying what I'm doing as I like being active and on my feet and this role is perfect for that. the team I work with are great we all know when the right time is for a laugh but always work hard. It has done now but amaze on how much goes on behind the scenes of a store and I'm learning something new every single day I'm here. I really enjoy it here and the programme is great.

The programme is well organised in my opinion. The induction was fun as got to meet the people I was going to be alongside with and done my first bit of work. The training I'm receiving and going to be receiving is excellent. The support I'm getting is the best and do everything they can for me to make sure I'm hitting my goals. I fell the programme is well organised and excited to see what the future will bring.

I receive a lot of support from my managers, mentor and colleagues. The access to support is easily accessible if I ever need it. The guidance I receive to problems I have is clear and non confusing. The general attitude towards me and anyone with that needs support is good.

My training provider makes sure I understand everything and takes me through our work book while giving me examples to make sure I don't get confused on anything and if I do then I can email him or call him with any questions I have.

What I learn with my training provider I can sometimes relate to in the warehouse. Some of the theory I have learnt I have put into practice in situations I feel is necessary. I definitely know more about my job/position now than from the beginning but everyday I'm learning something new.

Aldi sometimes do competitions on our "My Aldi App" over holiday periods the most recent one being Easter. These competitions consist quiz's but last year our warehouse done a charity football match the raise money for charity. When I'm not working I enjoy going on bike rides, boxing training, football training or playing football for my team (Sheppey Devils).

Yes

I would recommend Aldi to a friend because the job role is excellent the working environment is good and not toxic, you get the chance to meet many new fantastic people, the benefits are good and it's just all rounded just something good and new to try.

If there are some tips I would give it would be, always be yourself, be inquisitive if you make it to the interview process and make sure you want the job not just because of the money side of it, make sure it's something your interested in and want to pursue in.
