  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • On a day to day I am always rotating what job roles and departments I based in. I am trained on all trucks as well as learning how to do most manual jobs within the warehouse. Daily tasks would include order picking, using a bulk mover to move stock, checking, wrapping, booking in, using fork lift trucks or computing in the office. I am very interacted with many different workers as I get the chance to work with lots of different people every day.

  • 4. How valued do you feel by Aldi?
  • In such a huge business Aldi I feel that there are many managers in each department that will give you a lot of their time to make you feel valued. I feel that on the course I have been on I have felt involved with the company as I have been involved with so many different jobs and worked along side with section leaders and deputies within the warehouse.

  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • Very well planned as I know what and where I will be for the next three years and what job roles I will be undergoing. I have received lots of support from my direct leader and time is never a problem when I need it to complete coursework for my course. Also, in the short time I have been here I am already trained on nearly all the trucks. I am sure the support will continue all through my course.

  • 7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?
  • Coming straight from school to work has meant going from no income, to working full time and having a much healthier one. I find the salary to meet my costs with living, car costs and being able to have money left for myself.
