ALDI Store Associate reviews

lots of cons- unappreciative management, backbreaking stocking work for pay. Way too many upper managers. District managers have only two or three stores. 3 operations managers in a division. 4 presidents of the company. And they expect you to run a million dollar a month store with three people on a shift. front lines need more help as opposed to the underworked overpaid upper management. Unrealistic expectations lead to the Wells Fargo effect where corners are cut and quality suffers. You are under so much pressure to put out product that employees dont rotate properly-- new produce being thrown on top of old produce, etc. they want you to ring up so fast that product is getting damaged and going the extra mile for, say, and elderly person is frowned upon because your ring time is too slow. They dangle shift manager pay when you are hired but you only get that pay when the manager isnt there and there are sometimes 3 or 4 shift managers already on staff ahead of you.

Wasn't allowed breaks. Consistently understaffed, resulting in working over time for which I was never paid. Raised issue at team meeting was essentially put down into submission.
