Lots of benefits including half price cinema tickets (every cinema, everywhere), discounts on Virgin Media and more through the Aldi benefits website. | Very focused on time targets, some of which can be back-breaking, especially when it's busy.
Probably specific to my store but management are very cliquey and often don't confide in store assistants to do the job properly in a condescending way when in reality we are more than capable.
Work hours are more or less either 6am-2pm or 2pm-10pm which is hard when you want to have a social life. Don't get me wrong it's suitable for students who are working around uni times.
For an 8 hour shift or longer you get 1 paid break for 30 minutes - not long enough. We do a lot of work and deserve at least a 45 minute break. It's a very tiring job and the least they could do is offer us a longer break. |

Also.. 12 hour shift? 8 hour shift? 14 hour shift? You get 30 minutes regardless.

No rotation on rota. Same people sit at the tills (mostly British) and same people do the hard work on the shop floor while been paid same if at the tills not even more.
Lack of trainings. Very demanding although cannot accomplish that themselves.
Obviously because staff has been treated unfair they got upset which makes tension in between other colleagues.
Basically I feel like this particular store has found group of people who does all the black jobs while their favourite ones has quite easy life doing just easy tasks. Still salary same. Very unfair. |
