store apprentice Review

At Aldi everyday is different, If I start at 7 I will be putting the bread out early in the morning, if I start at 6 I will be doing the pick to zero, after either of these are done I will go into the office and take a till out for if I am required to serve customers depending on how busy the store is that day. I am responsible for getting the bread/pick to zero meat out in a time target to ensure all products are on sale for customers.

I have always lacked confidence, however working at Aldi has completely changed me, I am so much more confident now, I have learnt so much in the last 13 weeks working at Aldi, I know how to deliver excellent customer service, I have developed so many retail skills as this is my first job, i was absolutely clueless coming into the job and now I can do most things in the story by myself

I love my programme, I absolutely love the Aldi team, it is a very positive environment to be in, I love the job as well, it is definitely what I want to to long term, I am constantly learning and improving, and the apprenticeship is great, I feel I am supported by everyone whilst progressing.

My programme is very well structured, I meet the person from my training provided once a month, she sets me tasks I have to complete by the next time I see her so that she can mark the work and we can discuss the next steps in my apprenticeship work, I set up a day where I can speak to someone from work if I require any assistance with the coursework and the next day I type everything up and send it to the apprentice provider.

I receive huge support from all everyone in the store, especially the store manager and the area manager for my area, I am always getting tips on how I can improve, if there are any problems I know exactly who to contact, I also know that my employer is there if I require anything at all

I receive a lot of support from my training provider whilst working towards my qualifications, we sit down once a month and speak about what I have done during the month and what we are going to work towards in the next month when she is in next time, I can also get any help I need by phoning or e-mailing my tutor at any time

I am constantly learning more about the company and what is required, I feel my tutor is had a huge amount of knowledge about the business and how things are done and is very supportive and helpful, I have been given tips from my tutor and have since put them into practice

There are company events I just attended an event called the "everyday excellence workshop" this was a training event which was focused on customer service, I have another event in June, as well as the highland show at the end of June which we can attend if we want to .

Yes

I already have reccomended Aldi to many of my friends as it is such a great job, the team in aldi is excellent and I just enjoy learning whilst working so much I feel many others too would enjoy, I wasn't sure what kind of career I wanted and when I seen this job advertised I knew it was for me

The job is really hard work but is so rewarding, and at the start it does feel difficult, for weeks I felt I wasn't improving but I can now see I am clearly improving daily, I was told the job was such hard work before I started so nothing came as a shock.
