      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Excellent salary, working hours, time in lieu, free canteen food

      Cons

      No career advancement if hired as an assistant (head office), hierarchical management, senior management have autonomy and different management styles cascading confusion through the lower levels, poor morale, slow to adopt new concepts, too focused on 'the manual' yet do not live the principals contained within, 'clicky' staff, no HR department leading to poor conflict resolution, not a place for creative or free thinking individuals

      Worst company I've ever worked for

      Store assistant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      They pay good money (for a retail job...)

      Cons

      No time for anything. You're just running like a dog from your till to whatever you've been doing and than you just can't finish it because there's never enough manpower, and you know why? Because aldi is so cheap that they would rather watch you working out your soul than paying at least one extra staff member. The other funny thing is when they call you on you day off to come in as fast as you can (means max an hour....) and if you say no than they put your name in the "black book"... Not talking about sick payment... Yes, there is such thing but you're not really allowed to get sick unless you'd like to have some trouble with management.... Oh and management, they do nothing all day. They can have 30 minutes payed and 30 minutes unpayed brake but you can't. In fact, you don't even have payed brake even though it's in your contract. You HAVE to start 15 minutes before your shift (so you have to be there at least 30 minutes before your shift....) and you never finish in time, and they don't change the rota for 15 or 20 minutes.... This list could go on and on... I WOULD NEVER RECOMMAND ALDI TO ANYONE unless you want no life.

      Every Day Is A Fresh Hell

      Store assistant

      Business outlook

      Pros

      None. There are no Pros.

      Cons

      Can't even begin to say enough bad things about this place. Although it seems some employees are masochistic enough to stay turning up every day. Manager in your ear from beginning of shift to end. Constant micromanagement. Impossible timeframes. Back breaking labour. No work/life balance. Ridiculous expectations placed on employees.
