Buying Admin Assistant Review

My role is a Buying Admin Asisstant. On a day to day basis I analyse data, speak with suppliers, attend category meetings and ensure the overall running on admin on my categorys.

Yes. I learnt lots of new skils which are specfic to the job role, but I have also developed skills that I have already had. For example, I was developed my communication skills. I have also attended lots of training.

I enjoy my programme, but sometimes it is hard to get the balance between work, apprenticeship work and home life. If you are determind and organsised you will ace it.

I feel fairly valued by Tesco. They are investing money into you and giving you an actual day role. The development is slow and thats what is lacking here.

It is well organised now, but at first there was no organisation or clear structure. 2 years in this is much better. We need to know information far inadvance to manage around our day jobs which can be demanding.

Lots. [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] is great and is always at the end of the telephone. She always trys her best to anwser questions, and if in doubt she will go away and find the anwser.

I get lots of support in my day to day job, and if I am stuggling my manager will spendt time to teach me etc. However, my employer doesn't offer large amounts of support for my apprenticeship.

Not well. I have relocated for this job and this has made things diffuclt as the job means moving to a more expensive area. I couldnt have done this without large amounts of support from my family.

Tesco is a great place to make friends, so if you are outgoing you will enjoy the social aspect that it can entail. The community for apprenticships is lacking.

Yes

As there is lots of scope and opportunity. There are lots of people working here that can give you lots of advice and first hand experience.

Look into Tesco's values and make sure that you agree with them. It is a two way thing, Tesco needs to work for you aswell as you work for Tesco.
