I look after my team, prepare all kinds of reports for higher managers. Do department audits, assign jobs to everyone and make sure they are completing everything efficiently. Support team on achieving targets on time or with anything else they need assistance with. Support my line manager.
I have learned loads of new skills since I started working here. I learned how to use all sorts of systems, better English verbal and communication skills. Since I started apprenticeship I learned loads of useful time management techniques, how to resolve conflicts and how to better motivate my team
I really enjoy the programme! I think it is absolutely amazing opportunity, not only for Team Leaders and above, but there are great programmes for associates too. I think if you want to progress career wise, you have to keep learning and improving, and when you feel like there is nothing to improve within the department you're working, apprenticeship is a great solution for that, as I bet anyone will learn things that they never even thought about
My programme is perfectly organized for me. I feel like it is very clear and detailed. Even if I cannot attend the session, everything is perfectly clear when I open PowerPoint slides. There are comments left under the slides so it would be even more clear. I think it is perfect.
I receive all the support from my employer. First and most amazing one is that the apprenticeship is covered, which means I don't pay anything for this course. Second of all, they are very patient and let me take as much time as I need to finish my assignments, they are very supportive and they care about it as much as we do.
My training provider is absolutely amazing. I receive all the support I need. He will answer all the questions, even the silly ones. You can always message and call him, he will answer and will try to help as much as he can to better understand the assignments. He will stay after hours just to make sure that everyone understood the lesson and are okay to proceed with assigments.
100% the qualification I'm learning already helps me so much. Everything I learn during sessions, I try to implement in my day to day life. It really helps me to understand other people and myself more. I got better at motivating people and how to bring the whole team together. A lot of things I've learned I apply in my personal life as well.
Not that I am aware of. We do try to implement healthy life style, by launching apps, motivating people to do more steps per day. We do once a year dragon boat race, anyone can sing up! We might do some other things, but I am not aware of that.
Yes
Because wayfair is a great work place. They act on peoples concerns, the salary is alright, people are absolutely amazing here. We all are one big family, we all support each other. We get a lot of rewards for the job we do, we get pizza once a month, we get food trucks. There are a lot of competitions to do for vouchers, like helping to create logo or best Christmas sweater and so on.
Be yourself! We accept everyone and we support everyone. Don't be afraid to be your authentic self. Don't be afraid to ask for help, don't be afraid to just come and talk to someone. We are all really friendly. Don't be scared to apply. it's worth it! :)
