  • 4. How valued do you feel by Aldi?
  • I do not feel as fully part of the team as I do the same job as everyone else and the same hours and am on less money.

  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • For the job I have been aspiring towards it gives me the right opportunity to work in that role and give me a better understanding of it. However, I am still on an apprentice contract and I am working in the same role as most of the warehouse but not feeling the same financial benefit.

  • 6b. How much support do you receive from your employer?

  • 8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?
  • I don't know but with my level 2 qualification I would hope that I am in a good position to find other job opportunities in logistics sector.

    8/10

  • 9. Would you recommend Aldi to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?

  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Aldi?
