Pros

You won’t ever get fired; you’ll just get written warnings. no matter how trash of a worker you are. You won’t hear the end of it

Cons

- unrealistic targets. - hard work rewarded by getting handed other employees unfinished work. - expectancy to answer security calls any night of the week to check on store (respond to potential break ins) - availability 6am-10pm (if you’re lucky!) - sweat each and every shift; no matter how sore or tired you are - 30 min break on any given shift. Even on 12+ hour. - get abused by customers at register following scanning procedures - if scanning targets aren’t met; written warnings - load running times are cut far too fine; injuries are very very very likely. - some days you’ll be expected to clock out, and keep working. - out dated technology - expected to be able to lift anything in store, ranging from a box of stock, to a fridge, washing machine, you name it! What ever is sold in store you MUST manually handle. - if you breach compliance you’ll get written warnings. But you don’t get allocated compliance time. - no care for mental health even being a high stress environment Just do yourself a favour, don’t work for ALDI.
