Working at Aldis was a complete NIGHTMARE...I do NOT recommend this company to ANYONE
Filing a formal complaint after this review. I have over 40 years of working with different companies and Aldi's is the WORST I have ever seen. During my FIRST WEEK I have been verbally abused by one of the "managers". Have been yelled at various times during the day for being too slow. I am NOT exaggerating when I say YELLED at folks. Job threatened because I could only put TWO pallets away in an hour instead of THREE..... Then no break after working 5 hours..as punishment then told to do the deep freezer with NO GLOVES AND NO PROTECTIVE COAT to wear...While in freezer for three hours manager keeps coming in to harass me only to yell at me that she couldn't believe I was STILL NOT DONE and that I AM TOO SLOW. I had to keep coming out of the freezer to get my hands functioning again as they hurt so bad and got yelled again for not working any faster regardless of how bad my hands hurt .. THen was told that I had to provide my own gloves and coat for freezer work as they do not provide this protection.This company forgets that Customer Service starts with its employees. And the fact this manager represents this company in such a manner is alarming.
During my first few d days I was left alone with a floor jack to figure it out on my own. No safety training whatsoever. Just stories of how employees had broken feet after using jacks...
This company is waiting for lawsuits.
THis will be my last week of such hell.
Points positifsPay is NOT worth it.
Points négatifseverything. There is NOTHING positive about working for Aldi's
Unless you are going to a slow store with helpful staff and positivity, get the outta there! They will work you to the bone literally will have injuries, cramps, body aches, finger tingles and possibly something worst like arthritis or carpal tunnel due to the amount of savage work you have to do on a daily basis. Not to mention way understaffed, most of the time overworked and u rarely ever get out on time. Managers are unmotivational and just tell everybody else what to do and get the easy way out. Hated it there and wouldn’t dare to return ever!

Nothing in this ad expresses prior experience. I woke up at 5 am to go to Dunwoody only to be told you have to be a manager to even apply, again it is not listed in the description, in fact a person at the interview called that entrapment. I have two college degrees and tons of work experience and leadership experience outside of retail but I was thoroughly annoyed when we were told something different AT the actual interview, what a waste of time. By the way Aldi if anyone has a highschool diploma and can get an opportunity to learn why can anyone else?

Good package, long hours
When in store the teams are friendly and everyone works as one team. The company is clear about the direction it is going and each colleague knows exactly what part they play in that.
It's very hard to have a work life balance as if the store is not hitting sales then staff get sent home and lose pay, and if it's busy you are expected to stay for as long as is required.
Points positifsGreat salary, good team work, desire to bring out the best in everyone
Points négatifsVery long hours, hours get cut/added without being discussed
Simply put, this job is incredibly stressful. Their brand is efficiency, and thus they will only have 3-5 people working the entire store at any given time. Everything, and I mean everything you do is timed. It's incredibly fast-paced, physical, demanding and exhausting. You have to know how to do every task/job in the store. Management can be harsh and apathetic towards employees.
Points positifsCompensation
Points négatifsLong hours going past shift time, understaffed/overworked
You will go into this company with an orientation that tells you overtime is strictly forbidden. Then you come to the quick realization that not only is it okay, but it is just about mandatory. The pay is fantastic and the benefits are amazing, but you will never see your family again. For a single person looking for a great paying job that will also be a workout, ALDI is great. For a husband or wife with kids, it is tough.
Points positifsPay
Points négatifsNo breaks, long hours, upper management disconnect
J’ai bossé 3 ans la bas et je n’ai jamais été formé à mon poste comme il aurait fallut
La direction est vraiment à revoir
Trop de laisser allé au niveau de direction/employé
Laisse les employés de côté …
Aime avoir un souffre-douleur dans l’équipe !
Trop de pression, les anciens de l’équipe ne sont pas du tout sympa avec les nouveaux !
Il y aurait tant a dire mais je vais m’arrêter là !
Points positifsPrimes
Points négatifsRepas payant, pas de cohésion d’équipe, pas de compréhension
Expect the unexpected, one day youll have the easiest shift ever and the next day you get bombarded with a heavy amount of work and a hoard of people waiting to be checked out. It takes a lot of patience, ability to be calm in confrontation, ability to stay calm at all times really, high tolerance for rude customers and also be able to find a way to make it a fun good time every shift you are scheduled.

Aldi discount jusqu'au bout
A l'image des produits discounts qu'elle propose, l'entreprise Aldi est elle aussi discount.
Points positifsTickets cadeaux à valoir dans leur magasin sous condition de dépenser de l'argent

An sich scheint die Stelle bei Aldi besonders als Student attraktiv da der Lohn recht hoch ist. Aber die Firma nutzt diesen hohen Lohn als Ausrede für kompletten Terror. Schon von dem Anfang an wird sehr viel von einem erwartet, und man wird enorm gestresst. Man wird konstant unter Druck gesetzt und alles muss schnell gehen. Fehler dürfen nicht passieren, und wenn man mal einen Fehler macht, wird man zusammengeschrien. Keiner hatte so richtig Lust mir was beizubringen, und stattdessen wurden mir alte Videos gezeigt, die veraltet waren und wo viele Sachen gar nicht mehr so gemacht werden. Wenn ich dann etwas falsch gemacht hab, weil es mir im Video so erklärt wurde, war die Leitung dann direkt sauer. Aber wie schon gesagt, es wollte mir auch keiner so richtig helfen. Als es zur Kasse kam, hatte ich zwei Tage wo mir die Kasse "beigebracht wurde". Danach durfte ich nie wieder an die Kasse, und man hat mich immer die harte Arbeit machen lassen.
Als Student fühlt man sich bei Aldi direkt von allen verurteilt. Meine Mitarbeiter hatten eine herabschauende Art und Weise mir gegenüber. Ich musste mir oft höhnende Kommentare anhören wie " man merkt dir an, dass du nicht viel Erfahrung hast". Anstatt wie versprochen in einer Freundlichen Umgebung seine ersten Schritte in die Arbeitswelt zu machen, wird man terrorisiert. Es ist klar, dass ich als Student nicht viel Erfahrung in der Arbeitswelt habe, aber wenn man nach Studenten werbt und bereit ist diese einzustellen, sollte man auch a

Fix the check-out process at your company; it is the root of so many unnecessary problems!
Unfortunately, several negatives come to mind about working for this company. Virtually all of them center around Aldi's one biggest weakness as a company which it has failed to address.... for years and years: its highly stressful and just downright silly checkout process. As an employee, working on the cash register at Aldi is a monstrosity of a nightmare! It's dumb, it's inefficient, and just downright ridiculous if you want my brutally honest assessment of the situation. Because when you are assigned 'main cashier' duty at Aldi, you are basically required (and expected) to chuck, toss, slam, throw.... any way you can do it, other people's groceries.... which they just bought with their own money...... into the next shopping cart. Management doesn't care if you break or damage items in the process, as long as you keep that line moving at all costs! I literally have had customers scream at me in one ear for scanning way too fast during the checkout process and accidentally damaging their stuff as a result, simply because I'm literally scanning as fast as I can, only for management to then scream in my other ear (literally) about not ringing fast enough and not moving the line along fast enough. This "speedy" check-out process has been a systemic problem at this company for years, yet nothing is ever done to address the situation!! I've worked for this company for a very long time, and have worked in enough of their stores to tell you firsthand that it's a systemic problem e
Points négatifsThe check-out process at this company is unnecessarily stressful.
Quit after 3rd day, they treat workers like robots
Seriously, I would not recommend working here unless you are a robot or absolutely desperate and can't find another job. Don't let the hourly rate and ok benefits rope you in. They are not transparent, not understanding, and expect too much. What should be a red flag is that this company is always hiring which means people are always leaving. The amount of pressure they put on you for what the job actually is and how much you are paid is unrealistic. You might apply for the associate, cashier or stock position but you will do literally every position in the store and then some. You will be stocking shelves doing register stocking the freezer and cooler doing the curbside orders and cleaning the entire store, constantly back and forth all in one shift. If only they had actual assigned positions like other companies the job wouldn't be so stressful. But they want 1 person to do the job of about 5 people, in order to "save money". This is how they're able to have such low prices on products. At the expense of their employees They seemed to be understaffed, and you will quickly understand why. Every single thing is timed from how much items you can scan in an hour or how quickly you can find and pack orders for the curbside pick up. How fast you clean the store and how fast you restock or box the shelves. If you're not fast enough they would constantly threaten you. They do not fully explain what the job actually is because they know it will turn people away. They didnt even trai
Points positifsNone
Points négatifsEverything I would not recommend you working here unless you are a robot, bodybuilder, or have no life outside a job or super desperate for a job
Aldi presents themselves as a company that cares about their employees and efficiency but in reality all they care about is the efficiency and money. They treat you like robots and record your every move as a cashier from how many items per minute, how long it takes to scan each customers order, how long it takes in BETWEEN customers orders (when customer walks away and u start scanning the next one, how long it takes to complete Instacart orders, time it takes you to find each individual item, how long THE CUSTOMER takes to pay. Why are you being penalized for how slow the customer is? A Great question that they don’t have an answer to. And if your statistics aren’t up to their standards, even if it’s just slightly off, they will let you know that and keep pressing you about working more and faster. As if you’re a computer and not a human being.
Feeling sick? Need to care for a family member? Possibly have covid? Doesn’t matter, because if you’re not able to find someone to cover your shift they’re gonna force you to come into work anyways. Yes, illness and all. The most they’ll offer to do is let you go home early but that’s maybe 1 to 2 hours before your shift ends, which is basically nothing. They also require you to call out 4 hours before your shift starts in order to not get written up, so if your shift starts at 6 am? You will somehow get in trouble for not calling out 4 hours before that…at 2 am…when the store is closed and literally no one is there. And they also
Points positifsPay higher than other companies in the area
Points négatifsPay still trash because you barely get hours, Terrible management
My experience working for Aldi was at the store in musselburgh(yes the one that was on TV for terrible managment). Although I was meant to be going to the store in Tranent I never got the chance, the time limits are ridiculous, the managment is terrible whilst I was working there the other staff or atleast A large portion of them would sit on there phones in the warehouse whilst I was expected to do ridiculous amounts of work. I sometimes due to the extreme time limits (30 seconds per case) was not able to complete these so there was a time or 2 when i failed a "test" given to me on the picklist, although I have been told by 3! members off staff that the pick lists dont matter and that no one does them properly and to add to this i actually had one of the staff members infront of me speaking to a manager telling him that apprently "he dosent do picklists" in a manner that he was expecting the manager to not care. The managers literally have no idea what they are doing or how to train staff properly although I had been complimented several times on my work and received multiple good feedback forms from the store manager, I still never got kept on past my probation period( just after christmas), they used me for the extra graft that they needed and I bet they are devastated that now that im gone they are actually going to have to do some work no really that must be soul destroying. I could go on and on and on and on but the point is its not a good place to work its a graft whi
Points positifsgood pay(1/5 chance you get paid correct though)
Points négatifsVERY! poor management, lazy staff and ridiculous time limits, bad shift pattern and terrible work atmosphere.
This review covers both associates and management. Pay is good, better than average for the industry (in some cases much better), but you will work harder than anywhere else. Extremely high expectations and productivity requirements. It is physically exhausting, for management as well as associates. Every employee is trained in multiple tasks so there is literally no downtime. For example, someone on cashier duty who has a lull in customers must immediately get to work on another task such as stocking or cleaning until they are needed at the register again. You will even get reprimanded for walking too slow. Aldi is all about efficiency. Not a moment to be wasted. Get paid more, but get more done with a smaller staff. It is definitely not an atmosphere for the faint of heart. Aldi also stresses excellence in customer service, although it is a constant struggle to properly provide it when operational needs are so incredibly demanding. This is partly due to Americans not being used to the Aldi concept, which is a one-brand option (Aldi) for most item
