- Although completely out of the companies control it is worth noting that you will be taxed very heavily on your car and fuel card.
- A requirement for you to move at the snap of their fingers, often with heavy relocation costs which the company does not contribute too.
- The golden age of fast promotion has ended. |

No flexibility on life at all, had to be at desk at 8am on the dot and if 1 minute late had to apologise and explain why. Had to beg to leave for appointments etc. Micro managed to the worst degree. Did twice as much work as the rest of the team but only ever told what I was doing wrong not right. People who get promoted are the ones that upper management like, not the most capable. When I joined they had this endless list of the most archaic rules, like no stubble, never use multiple fonts in an email, no lunch at desk, if have water had to be in a glass and not a bottle, women couldn't wear shoes that showed the toes, advised against wearing too many earrings, the list goes on. Thankfully now I work for the most incredible company who are flexible and encouraging. It made me realise that not all managers are as awful as the ones I had at Aldi. |

My 'mentor' told me I wouldn't need the postcode of the stores 1hr away and proceeded to drive off down the M1 at 80mph leaving me inevitably lost and stressed, a great way to start!
Training is non-existent, they'll drop you into a store and expect you to just know how to do things and complete tasks at the same speed as people with years of experience, just madness.
I was asked by my 'mentor' to reprimand a Store's Assistant Manager with 10+ years experience on my 4th day. Because I did this tentatively (as I think most people would!) I was told 'you've been here for a while, you need to toughen up'.
Generally work 60+ hours weeks which was expected given the salary. HOWEVER the way the shifts are spread out (6am or midday starts) means your sleep pattern is ruined. Once did a shop inventory and worked 6am-11pm then back in at 5am to finish at 5 that afternoon. A healthy 29 hours worked with 6 hours between shifts (2 of which driving!)
As other people elude to the other Area Managers are fine, except from the ones who have been there for a few years. One told me with pride how he had worked a 110hr week which gives you some idea of their mindset.
Once had to drive for 6 hours on my day off as a store manager had locked the key in the safe so backwards and forwards from the head office. Led to me falling asleep whilst driving (you need the days off to catch up!) and nearly crashing which ultimately made my decision to leave much easier. |

Responsibility
Some good staff and banter | Aldi doesn’t seem to know whether it is a discount retailer or full service supermarket. High productivity and unreasonable targets are still expected to be achieved but more and more jobs are being added all the time,
Aldi wants to focus on customer service but stores are run simply to satisfy area managers and directors, and to pass availability audits, with no regard for customers.
Some in store managers and area managers need training on how to speak to staff, some are downright rude and arrogant.
Working hours can be cut or increased without notice and staff are penalised for not coming in on their days off.
Working 10 plus days without a day off |
