ALDI reviews

Ridiculous amount of focus put on ring speed, to the detriment of products as well as employees.Caters to lower socio-economic levels thereby forcing you to deal on a daily basis with ridiculous people who can't seem to add to save their lives,let alone remember their PIN numbers.Customers are very flustered by the speed of checkout which leads to them being rude.On an average day there are 2 employees in entire store to handle both stocking and cashier duties, which means in order to function you must move at top speed 100% of the time.Breaks are taken in an 'as you can get them' fashion which often is in 2 minute increments.Hours fluctuate greatly based on sales predictions.You may have 38 one week and 15 the next.

This role does all the work for the director. Anything that goes wrong, you are blamed for it. Supplier delays, your fault, supply chain issues, your fault, product not as specified, your fault. You are at the every whim of your buyer who knows nothing about how to process or the systems, just get it done. Software changes all the time, it works one day, not the next, IT can not duplicate the error, just redo everything. Aldi has also begun to outsource these roles. Everyone is overworked and on edge, many are looking for new opportunities but everything is limited for this role. This is a good job if you are looking to get some experience and move on. If you are looking to grow at Aldi, start at the store level and plan to be there for 5 plus years. Even the work from home policy changes days every couple of months, so you can never truly get comfortable with anything.
