ALDI reviews

The scheduling isn't consistent. I had to work really early hours and really late nights on some days. It is difficult to receive time off even if you request it.

Unsafe place to work, Aldi's application of Health and Safety guidelines such as Management of Change, Working Time Directive and Fatigue Analysis are seriously lacking. The only performance parameter is pick rate, which takes no account of the working environment, or increased staff levels. Both the amount and management of stock in the isles lends itself towards high risk of incident and accident. The change of work pattern asking employee's to come in one or sometimes two hours earlier than their contracted hours results in fatigue and the lack of breaks as defined in the employee handbook heightens the risks even further. During my time there employees would regularly work a 10hour shift and only given one 20minute break. There were many incidents, near misses and minor accidents, all of which could lead to far more serious consequences.
