Store Apprentice Review

Every day is something different, you could be an early morning working the fresh delivery, or an afternoon shift where you’d be replenishing the store, dealing with customers on the shop floor and doing some cashier work on the tills. Never a dull moment and you’ll be surrounded by great people

Since I started at Aldi I’ve been continuously building and developing my skills across the board, be it my abilities on the shop floor, confidence with customers, or bonding with my peers. Aldi is a great place if you’re willing to work hard and eager to learn and take responsibility

The program is great because it allows you to put in your fair share of hard work and you’ll be rewarded by great career progression in a year you can go from not knowing a thing about retail to being given responsibilities of a deputy manager of a store.

The programme has a good structure and you’ll have regular communication with your trainer who will be there to guide you through the program and help you to teach yourself the elements you need in order to complete the work and develop you skills within each area of the program

My employer is always there if I need anything I have multiple people who I can go to and ask for support if needed there are many people who want to see me succeed and would be willing to take time out of their day to teach me and help me learn

I get regular updates with them where we will either sit down and discuss things and get work completed or remote phone calls where we can do the same on a smaller scale. If I ever need help with anything I am encouraged to contact them and simply ask in order to progress

It helps you to develop yourself as an individual and makes you think more about what you do on a day to day basis whilst doing your job. You learn how the company works and begin to understand more why things are done and they way things need to be dealt with

The company have an app where they post updates from all areas of the company to keep people up to date and informed about the latest events and upcoming opportunities. Individual store teams build excellent friendships and they will often try to organise meet-ups and drinks for social occasions at special times of the year

Yes

A excellent company to work for. They will encourage you to be the best you can be, and provide you with all the support and training you could need in order to be the best version of you. They have excellent pay and fair hours with store teams that work together and have fun.

Look at the recruitment website, watch the videos on there, take time when going through the application process, go into stores and talk to members of the team about the role and try and find out if it’s for you and ask for any tips about how to get a job.
