Here are the main phrases I heard everyday during my near 10 years with Aldi.
1. "Work harder and faster" no matter how hard or fast you are working, it will never be good enough. There are no excuses.
2. "You can't go home 'til it's finished". If it takes an extra 6 hours after a 10 hour night shift, tough luck.
3. "Your thanks is your paycheck" never expect a thankyou or well done. That's what is expected of you, because Aldi pays you the extra pound an hour. Anything less is unacceptable.
"I just go home and drink" I lost count of how many members of the management team give this exact answer when speaking about how they cope with the pressure. |

Less staff generally means higher hourly rates are attainable as long as your flexible.
Staff are for the most part pleasent to work with.
Work environment is often variable and feels fresh | The bradford index us a terrible absence system that punishes people looking to actively get back into work after a short term illness.
Overall quality of employees at Store Assistant/Deputy Manager level can be poor and often goes without punishment lowering the overall expectations and moral of hard working employees.
Lower staff count can make work feel pressurised and usually even 1 person abscent means that you will be late out of a shift |
