E-commerce Merchandiser Review

Marketing and Merchandising the Company's branded websites. This included manging pricing, setting up promotions and campaigns and suggesting new ideas in order to improve traffic and revenue to the websites. I also help with the Amazon seller account when needed by moving stock, allocating orders and ensuring prices are aligned.

Yes, I have learnt lots of new tasks including technology skills such as using Excel, as well as communication skills such as being honest about workload and speaking up if I need to delegate tasks to others. I have also learnt lots of job-specific skills such as how to navigate our platforms, set up promotions etc. These skills can be also be applied to outside of the workplace.

I completely enjoy my programme. I feel supported by both my employee and university mentor, and continue to learn new skills as I move further into the programme.

My programme is structured very well. I am given time in the workplace to work on my assignments and "Off the job" hours and also have the opportunity to work from home once a week when I have an assignment coming up. I am also not too overwhelmed by university that | have time to focus on becoming better in my job role.

I receive a lot of support from my employer. | have mentor meetings once a month and workflows once a week in which I can raise any issues if needed. I also can expand my hours working on uni from week to week if | need extra time to work on my assignment.

Quite a lot of support from the training provider. We have skills coach's which can help with any issues and can provide extra support on assignments if needed. Lectures/Unit leads can sometimes be hard to contact or have 1-1 time with if there is an issues with an assignment.

I think working towards my qualification really helps me by innovative in my role. Being at university sparks new ideas for projects/tasks that i can enforce in my job role. Especially when people have been in the same role for a long time, me bridging new ideas from my qualification can help to improve systems.

Yes, lots of extra activities. Around once a month we have a team social which usually includes a meal or games night. this helps us to switch off from work and help the team morale. We also have food vans once a month at work which are something to look forward to. there are sports activities such as a football team and a running club. I have also been sent on networking/training events to help me improve my work in my role.

Yes

Lots of work/life benefits. Getting a qualification along side of gaining valuable work experience.

Be confident in yourself that you can manage working full time and a university degree. The company give you lots of scope to work on yourself for promotions etc. Your age also doesn't affect you.
