Store apprentice Review

As a store apprentice my role within the store can change from day to day. I could be doing deliveries in the morning before the store opens, I could be replenishing stock throughout the day or even doing a shift on the till. The first year is being trained on all the various jobs around the store after the first year is when managerial training will begin.

Since starting my apprenticeship I have further developed skills like customers service and knowing how to deal with all different types of situations with customers, time management as with a lot of the roles within the store you need to be quick and efficient without risking the quality of your work.

The programme is a great way to learn new and develop existing skills and hopefully gain the required skills and experience into management

Since starting Aldi I do feel like a valued employee and the company and its employees are brilliant.

The programme is well organised and structured. The representative from first skills who will do all the tests and learning with you will. They will schedule times to come into store and meet with you to do learning from time to time.

The representitive from first skills is very supportive. Anything that you are worried about you can easily speak to them and they will be more than glad to help.

My area manager is very supportive he is very easy to talk to and makes you feel like if you have any problems he would be more than happy to listen. The managers within the store are all easy to talk to and will help you out any time you need it.

As an apprentice your hourly pay is lower than other potosi tons such as stock assistant or store assistant but it's more about the end goal and what you want to achieve and if you achieve your end goal of finishing the apprentiship then you will come out with a better position and an equally better hourly pay.

There are always opportunities outside of work to socialise with everyone at your store there are always days or nights out that people are planning and also fish days which are store days out for eveyone.

Yes

The apprenticeship at Aldi is not only a great job with great opportunities but eveyone at Aldi is welcoming and easy to talk to

Keep an open mind and take any feedback you get on board
