Store Apprentice Manager Review

Day to Day running of the store, I was a store management apprentice and helped with the day to day running of the store, not that much responsibility is given to apprentices.

developed skills in retail. gained NVQs in retail. Was not sent on any of the courses like other management such as first AID courses

Great team. Company can be difficult to work for and not appreciated that much.

Can vary depending on the management, if i was honest i would say not to much.

Not very well. Nobody knew where i was up to and how much I had left or to do. Not very organised, could have been down to the amount of management change we faced.

I am in a lot of contact with the training company and they are always there if I have any questions or problems.

They try there best but nobody really knows what I should be doing so therefore there is not much they can do at times

Contract hours are low. can feel like you are part time when you have to stick to 25 hours a week.

There is not any company events are company activities. I am involved a lot with football and do this in my spare time

Yes

The money is better on an apprenticeship.

Be careful, you need to understand that the hours are low and you can find yourself working as a normal store assistant for 3 years but you will have the qualifications.
