Pros
- Pay’s good, at least in comparison to other retail jobs - Some of the best people I’ve met I’ve worked with at various stores
Cons
Well, where do I start. I was effectively told that I wasn’t getting a graduate Area Manager job due to my experience at Aldi - Apparently they want people from outside the company, ignoring the fact they have literally zero idea how a store is supposed to be run. I had the requisite university grades and recommendation from my Area Manager, yet was swiftly rejected. That should tell you enough as it is. Don’t be surprised to see managers play favourites - If you’re liked then the level of work expected is drastically different to if you’re not. Area Managers tend to be micro-managers, constantly analyzing everyone’s performance and finding issues where there aren’t any. After a while, this wears on you and makes people feel hopeless.
