What's it like working for Aldi in 2017?.

Pros

I would say that you have alot of banter, There's always alot of things to do. Ihad alot of issues before going into this job and I have now started to get my life back on track thanks to my managers. If you put in the hard work they will reward you.When I first started they put me on early shifts starting at 6am till 2pm. I am not a early person so it was difficult but soon as I showedthem what I was worth they have me later shifts and to this day work around the hours I can do. I couldn't recommend this job enough. If you want to get the best out of retail then Aldi is for you!.

Cons

There can be alot of bad customers but Aldi give you the right training to over come that.

If you enjoy being treated like a worthless piece of crap and being sexually harassed then this is the place for you!

Pros

Pay and health insurance are the only pros

Cons

Management is laughable at best. Warehouse directors are delusional in understanding what's needed for employees. Violate osha on a regular basis. Sexually harassment means nothing to them and you will be "let go" on a technicality if they can find one if you complain. Worst company and organization I have ever worked for in both structure and stress.
