Online Apprentice Review

E-merchandising, optimising PDP's with high quality product specific content to enhance the consumer experience as effectively as possible. Creating assets for PDP's, occasionally copy-writing, using photoshop to enhance imagery, using software such as Salsify to provide content for retailers to use for any of their L'Oreal products.

I have learnt to use photoshop with the help of the design team I have developed my knowledge of copy-writing I have learnt how to use CEM software, Salsify I have developed my public speaking skills I have developed my presentation skills I have developed my ability to deal with a variety of personalities and backgrounds.

I don't enjoy it much, I have a great manager and we constantly work to improve my day to day work experience. In my opinion the apprenticeship was made without a great deal of consideration for what might be a very dull day to day experience. Most of the people are lovely, which is nice and makes it a bit easier.

I think it started off unstructured and has become more structured with new management and processes. Overall there is a good structure now, most of the time you know what a week will involve, what is expected of you etc. this could improve slightly but i'd say that this is quite a positive aspect of the job.

My manager supports me a lot and has lots of time for me in terms of helping me with any issue i have, whether that be work related or outside in my personal life. I'd say higher up in the company there is clearly a lack of appreciation for prioritising mental health, not for myself but what i see in how others are treated.

My training provider proactively try to help me communicate requirements with my employer. They have calls to discuss issues my apprenticeship and work to learning ratio etc. Multiverse have clearly made an effort to make a difference, whether that worked or not is a separate question with a separate answer

Not much because it's not very specific to my role. I think from speaking to many different apprentices in different companies, large corporate roles seem to be very niche and unlikely to delve into many different aspects of the business. Smaller businesses are probably better for this type of work.

There are quite a few extra-curricular activities available to be involved in, lthough unfortunately with COVID this has been massively restricted so there hasn't been much this year. This is of no fault to the company of course but just the current climate and what restrictions that brings to us.

No

I think that there is a lot of positive aspects of the role, but i think what i've realised is that the effort to reward ratio at big corporations is completely off balance. If you're truly motivated and determined to succeed you may as well start a business.

I would say show that you can provide efficiency to the company, they're big on doing things fast and with good quality, which can be a difficult combination to manage. If you have anything to prove for this i think it'd be greatly appreciated by most of the team.
