Area/Shift Management Apprentice Review

Due to the nature of the organisation, Day to day tasks change. As a general rule, my job role is to supervise the operation, Depending on the shift this may be supervising people as they work, or monitoring the progress of delivery drivers. mostly it is to ensure operational goals are met

Everyday I am learning how to better my own skills such as, Personal time management, or communication skills - to a varying audience, managers, other departments, peers, subordinates - I am also learning new things such as managing costs, operational strategy, understanding organisational behaviour and culture whilst also learning the content provided in the degree

Due to the nature of the role, as a supervisor with plans to become a manager, the qualification of prof. business management is massively beneficial to my performance. By learning as i am gaining experience, I am able to apply what i learn in the classroom to my daily role

Yes, Amazon emphasises the opportunities for employees to involve themselves in extra curricular activites. Fun events such as bowling, watching the rugby, paintballing and many others have been suggested by employees and then organised by the company and offered up to staff to attend. Provides a great opportunity to meet new colleagues and boosts moral

Yes

The opportunities provided to myself for personal professional development whilst also furthering my career path are genuinely amazing. The compensation, benefits and opportunities available make amazon stand out to me as a genuinely great employer. This has led me to believe anyone could benefit from employment at amazon as i have

be prepared to be overwhelmed. The first week at amazon it was like being in an entirely new world. The scale of the organisation, the concepts presented to me were unlike anything i had seen before. Also understand how dynamic the workplace can be, even though in essence we just deliver cardboard
