my role at howdens joinery is a ware house man. this involves me doing different things in the ware house for example, I unload the wagon and then check it off after. also I sort stock out and reorganize it. in the morning I always comke in and do the ppi's whitch are line checks that have 25 different product codes on so I have to go round and count the product and also to make sure we have it and I stock is right. I also pick kitchens and the a every day thing. I have responisibilts of making sure the ware house is tidy and not mess also the fork lift checks are done every day so that we know that the fork lift is all working right. I also have to do stock transfers witch is on a daily basis.
in my time I have been at howdens I have learnt a lot more things like all health and safety regulations. I have also learnt how to drive a fork lift which I enjoy doing. at this moment I am currently learning things on the counter and I have just learnt how to do an account payment over till and over the phone.

the support i have had off the manager and assistant manager is unbelievable they all ways help me with stuff i don't know and they have always guided me to become better at what i do and the attitude to awards me is great because some time it can take me a while to geta hang off things and they are really patient with me.
the salary i get is great it gets me through the month and i always have some off it left and it supports everything i do like when i go out and travel places the salary is good.
yeah because the compant take you places like go karting, rounder's, take you for meals, and also they put you on courses like the k8 course witch you go some where for a couple off days and they teach you loads abou how the k8 system works and what you can do on it.
