Store Apprentice Review

I have a very important role in Aldi. From day to day I do many different things from replenishing stock to working the tills. Also as an apprentice I have the responsibilities to do till checks on other colleagues and upload the information onto the software on the computer.

I've learnt many things including Health and Safety, the use of tills, the correct way to use a pump truck and move roll cages, how to use/empty the bailing machine, using software such as Excell passing all the Aldi training progame, correct way to display magazines to the right standard of external businesses, and my communication and numeracy skills have improved.

Aldi is a great working environment, its got the drive that makes you want to work, but you've gotta work hard there's always something to do and you haven't got time to slow down which is great motivation if you aren't having an off day, the majority of the Aldi team are amazing and are always there if you need any help or advice and not just in the work place, they're more like a family than colleagues, I believe it is a good place to work and it'll be even better if I get into year two because you get to do so much more of the management role. Overall I've enjoyed my time at Aldi there have been some times when I haven't felt as enthusiastic about and appreciated but when I mentioned how I felt they was quick to respond and help resolve the problem and explain how they didn't realise and if I ever have a problem again to just talk to them and they will help.

I feel valued and appreciated by the majority of the management team, they involve me me in many task on a day to day basis.

My induction was very well they explained the business and the tasks that I would have to do, my training was also very good which was completed through practical and on-line work I've also had lots of support from the management team, my tutor and my mentor. I believe it was really well organised.

I receive a lot of support when its needed from my tutor he's also give us the chance as students that if we needed for any reason extra help on our work with him to go down to the Acorn office to do the work. We have an online account where we can check what we're doing at our next session and see our progress, [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyApprenticeship Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions]

I receive a tremendous amount of support from the majority of the management team, also my mentor is very supportive and is always there when I need help.

My salary isn't the highest and could do with some improving.

The team at Aldi are always coming up with new activities for the rest of the team to enjoy such as paint balling, bungee jumping and a marathon.

Yes

Because it is a very friendly environment and it makes working that much easier when you're working with friends.

Be prepared to work, and have a good attitude towards it, when applying make sure you show your true character and also at you interview make sure to be yourself, they understand if its your first interview so don't worry just be ready to work.
