Trainee Manager Review

Day to day, I’m running areas in my store, so either managing the kitchen or the restaurant and drive thru. I look after my employee breaks, well-being, and am personally in charge of our online workplace too.

Yes. My apprenticeship has definitely helped me reflect on my job role a lot- and has definitely helped me settle into my new role easier. It’s been really helpful in helping me to prep Earle for my shifts, feel more confident, and try different approaches.

I thoroughly enjoy it. My coach is so wonderful and supportive, and I feel like the content is really easy to pick up and understand. I can make it work around my schedule quite easily, and I find it very interesting.

Very well. Meetings are scheduled weeks/ months in advance, but are also flexible. It’s clearly structured with how much to complete each month- and the amount is well-balanced throughout the year.

A lot. They give me time off the floor, and I’m constantly asked how it’s going and how I’m finding it.

Oh, so much. I couldn’t ask for a better training coach, she’s really supportive, fun, but also helps me to achieve what I’m wanting to achieve.

I kinda answered this in the other one, but it does a lot. I find I’m able to reflect on my work after my shifts a lot better, and come into work better prepared. It’s really helpful, and I’m thoroughly enjoying it.

Yeah there are. We have volunteering activities, football matches, and have evenings out quite often.

Yes

I think the pay is pretty decent, the work environment can be busy, but everyone is really supportive of each other.

Be friendly, be bubbly. It will be busy and stressful at times, and it can be hard being on your feet all day, but it’s really good. The amount of opportunities offered, qualifications to get, it’s really worth it, and I’ve made great friends here.
