Pros

ALDI salaries are very generous. The office hours are good (08:00-16:30).

Cons

There is a real issue, within the head office which I work at, with bullying. Time and time again people are forced to leave over the effects of bullying and the lack of action from Management. Several people are just paid off rather then the issue being dealt with. The issue is very serious as recently one member of staff even attempted suicide over the bullying they were subjected to. The office in which I work at there is only one male member of administration in the entire office. This unusually low level of male colleagues is a breeding ground for bullying and catty behavior. Management deny the issue of bullying and simply state that it cannot be proved therefore there is nothing they can do. This leaves the victims with no choice but to leave.

Pros

The only positive thing would be the salary.

Cons

Aldi does not promote growth within. In the interview process they ask you if you are not okay with moving up, if you respond no then you're out. They do not really care about their employees. You can only move horizontally within the company. Turnover rate was very poor.

Pros

Good pay (but is it really with all the work you have to do?)

Cons

I was so excited when I got this job, but now I wish I'd taken one of the other offers I'd gotten. This job will destroy you. Don't expect to have a social life after starting because all your time will revolve around the store and you'll never have weekends off. Heaven help you if you dare get sick and have to call out. My schedule is constantly changed, sometimes the day of, and no one is ever notified. I can guarantee you that you'll never leave on time, ever. 9+ hour days even when you're not a shift manager. I've had a few 9 hour shifts turn into 10 or 11 hour shifts. Working one night 2-10 and then the next morning 6-2 is not uncommon, so add sleep to that list of things you don't get to have anymore. There's not enough associates to handle the amount of customers in the store. We're so understaffed it's not even funny, and we keep having "hiring events," but no one is ever hired? I'm only 24 and this job has given me severe aches and pains in my wrists, shoulders, and lower back. Truck has to get done in 3 hours, meaning you have to work 8 pallets in that time. Employees are expected to move so fast and get things done at an unbelievable pace that safety gets pushed to the back burner in exchange for speed. The stress and high blood pressure is definitely not worth the pay.
