Operations apprentice Review

My role is an operations apprentice this means I have moved through the departments working on fulfilling customer orders. This had been through stowing,picking and packing.

I have developed my confidence, problem solving and data analysis. I stepped up into an L&D role for 5 months and also learnt leadership skills

I enjoy it the more it goes on and I'm sad its almost over. At first I can seem like a lot of work but as time goes on you can see how it all connects to my place of work and the supply chain industry

It's very well structured on babbingtons (learning provider) side however on the operations side I feel like they need to be better education on what we are there to do

I receive a mixed amount of support depending on who my manager is at the time. Some go above and beyond and others don't really know who you are

I receive a lot of support, at one point in the course I got very behind but the support was there to put a plan in place and so I'm confident I will finish my apprenticeship

It's helped me have a better understanding of my work place as a whole. I now understand how each department affects eachother, as well as how external factors have a impact too

There are different groups you are able to become part of ranging from sports teams, diversity groups and charity events.

No

I would of recommended amazon in the past but as there is currently a hiring freeze there is a lack of progression available. The wage could also be improved.

It's long days and hard work but it can be an experience, give it your all and aim to be the best and you never know where you might get.
