ALDI Shift Manager/Cashier reviews

High turn over, # of hours per week fluctuates, no fixed schedules for anybody even management, You get sick pay and personal days but management WILL make you feel guilty for using it. ALDI is so short handed all the time that if you call in sick, often there is nobody who can replace you. It is also company policy that you are responsible for finding somebody to replace you. I got the flu once and wasn't able to leave my bed. When I called in sick my manager gave me a list of people to contact over the phone and just said "you'll have to get somebody to cover you".

There's an unspoken expectation once you're trying to get into management that Aldi is your #1 priority in life. They expect you to drop everything for them with little to no concern for anything you may have going on in your life outside of work. When you do have to request off for something, it's like you spend the next few weeks being punished for it in how you are scheduled. Most store managers are working 65+ hours (they are salaried at 50 hours) to get everything done that's expected because they have either unreliable employees or not enough employees and there seems to be no rush for district managers to hire more people, which is really starting to put a strain on the reliable people they do have.
