Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
my role as a warehouse operative at Amazon involves fulfilling customers order by making sure that items are received on time and meeting up set target. It also sometimes involves packing of orders made by customers and making sure that the right labels go on the parcel in order for it to be identified and shipped to the right customer.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
To be honest, initially I didn't think I would gain much from this programme, but surprisingly I have learnt so much from enrolling in this programme which has made it very interesting for me. Every I have learnt so far has also become very useful for me not just at work but also in my day to day activities.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
so far, I have been able to improve more on my communication skills. For example, previously I find it hard to communicate or speak publicly but now I've been able to learnt he necessary skills and techniques that can be used in public speaking. Also, I've learnt a lot about problem-solving skills.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
I would say that the programme is well organised based on how easy and simple you can log in and access the materials provided for studying. It is also a convenient way to study as you can study at your own convenience and still be able to meet up with some deadlines.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I get as much support as possible. It’s very easy to approach managers and team lead about your apprenticeship. Sometimes they also don’t have answers to your question but they will always direct you to someone who does have answers. Also, they always let us go for our apprenticeship without hesitation or complain.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
The training provider are the best, you can easily communicate with the tutors and even get a swift response. The online access to courses is so smooth and easy to use. You can also track your progress and see how far you’ve gone or how much work still needs to be done.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
To be honest I feel like working through this qualification has made me a better person in performing my role and even in my day to day life. It has helped me to learn how to better manage my time, prioritise my work, meet up with targets and solve problems when performing my role.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
Sometimes there are activities like sport events, talent hunts or competition. I heard there used to be post peak party after the new year but that didn’t happen this year due to coronavirus. Not much extra-curricular activities but Amazon always celebrate special seasons or days and opportunities to win vouchers or something.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Amazon to a friend?
Yes
Why?
I would recommend Amazon to a friend because it is a great place to work. This is because Amazon looks after it’s employees and does not take any employee for granted. Every employee is so important to them that they go all the way to support employees who they know are willing to work towards helping the company meet its goals and objectives.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Amazon?
I would advice them to make sure to be ready to work if they want to get the best out of Amazon. Amazon is not for lazy people and it’s also a place that provides a wide range of support for employees both in and outside of the company. Amazon supports with mental health, physical health, education, and so many others.
