Excellent pay but shifts are very mix & match.

Store assistant

Business Outlook

Pros

- The pay is the main reason people go for a job at Aldi & its the main reason I have stayed. - If you have a good team (which I do) it makes the day at work so much easier! - You are never bored, there is constantly something to do, if you cant find anything your not doing the job properly. - Stores are small so easy to navigate and get used too.

Cons

- Shifts are very mix & match one day I could do 12-7 and the next day 6-4 - Hours are very varied I could get 25 one week and 30 another - Hours are sometimes long and can be very tiring - YOU WILL WORK LOTS OF WEEKENDS - Management think there way better than you and can be quite rude. - Tills are dated (have to work out change & type in codes for produce) however do not worry, you will eventually get used to doing it! - always check your pay slip, sometimes your hours get cut without you knowing.

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent salary and benefits. That is all.

Cons

Worked as a store manager for 9 years. district managers are straight out of college with absolutely no real life experience. They are molded into "robots" and treat store level employees like garbage. Unrealistic goals, deliver poor results. Was sometimes in the store alone until 11am, and came in at 6..,,,just to hit the unrealistic labor commitment. 2 people there all day long.
