Pros

Hourly pay higher than most areas... although the work is extremely tough, even for someone in shape like me.

Cons

Somewhat poor and quick training--I had many questions that were unanswered. Daily task routine was not really explained. Unsafe conditions if you are not tall or strong. The freezer is unbearably cold unless you have on 10 layers. The store itself is also extremely cold and in the short time I was there, had many people complain when they went through my line. Management brushed it off.

Pros

Decent pay - if you get decent hours.

Cons

Work like a machine. Don’t have any form of feelings or emotions. Don’t have a life - they are not prepared to accommodate, not for anything. (No personal relationships either. It will not work) No progression but they will string you along. Creepy behaviour towards women, lots of favouritism.

Pros

As a company aldi are good to work for. The pay is good. Holiday entitlement is good. Maternity pay is good. Sick pay is good. I feel that they offer more than most other retailers in this sense.

Cons

In store it’s vile. I’ve worked in quite a few stores and I find that in everyone you are not valued enough. You are pushed to your limits and too much is expected of you. The training is not great yet they expect you to be better than perfect. It’s full of false promises. Even when you do really well you don’t get praised for it.
