ALDI Lead Store Associate reviews

Awful work life balance due to back to back late shifts and early morning shifts. Your shift end time (if working a close) is not a guarantee, as they are usually critically understaffed and don’t let you leave until all the relevant work is complete. This often resulted in finishing 1/2hrs later than expected. This company is the revolving door of all supermarkets. The staff turnover was immense. I watched management do nothing as a colleague I worked with suffered mistreatment and bullying. The staff had a tendency to be very ‘cliquey’. Your 20 minute breaks are timed. They work you like a pack horse, as their business model is based around efficiency. After working during the pandemic, the only thanks the staff got were a generic inscribed pen. The area management team were severely disconnected from reality, were really condescending and disingenuous whenever they visited the store. My mental health was at its absolute lowest during my brief time there. For the nightmare experience, the wages really aren’t high enough.

Insane workload, minimum employees, talk a good game but don’t show it
