ALDI reviews

There are team members who like to bring drama to the work place, talk down about other team members, and find short cuts whenever possible. The breaks vary from day to day, you could take a break three hours into your shift, and then your second break a half hour later. This is done to make sure your breaks are out of the way. Information/ changes that need to be made through the whole store is communicated with a store meeting, typically the changes are not applied or enforced. A lot of team members hate cashiering and will try to avoid it at all cost, even if they are the back up cashier. There are managers that will say negative things about team members as well. When it comes to stocking foods such as meat and bread, dates are not checked daily for expiration. There will be newer meat on old which causes the old meat to either expire and not be sold or to be sold discounted. Which affects sales.

YOU CAN NOT BE PROMOTED TO AREA MANAGER EVEN IF YOU HAVE BEEN A STORE MANAGER FOR 10 YEARS AND ARE THE BEST IN THE COMPANY, ALDI ARE OPEN ABOUT THIS. You may read the salary is great but on a 48 hour contract for a manager (you will work 10 hours + OT easily) taking that into consideration the hourly wage eqiv is poor! The expectations are SERIOUSLY unrealistic and being performance managed by a 21yo that knows nothing about retail and has never had a job is a hard pill to have to swallow! I am a relatively respected manager and I do not under perform, however this company will want you heart and soul, prepared to be owned by them. Your life will be consumed.
