ALDI reviews

This list is VAST. In my opinion the company car, salary and fuel card DO NOT come anywhere near worth the grind of working here. You'll be Up at 4 most mornings, then they might chuck you on a night shift the next day, then a late the day after. You're meant to get one full weekend off per week but that never happens, you normally get random week days and it is not uncommon to only have 1 day off a week. Tomorrow is going to be a start at 10am finish at 11pm at best day plus 2 hours of commuting. 100% not worth it. You regularly do not know your days off next week let alone 4 weeks in advance as you're meant too. The company car and fuel card gets taxed (costs you about £2.5k) so it is only just worth having. You're expected to work 70 odd hours/week and NEVER get any positive praise. Do not work here - you will regret it when you're pulling potatoes out onto the floor at 5am in the morning having worked lates the very same week.

You will work hard. By hard I don't mean you will be sitting at the register all day ringing up customer orders. You will be stocking shelves. You will be stocking bread, meat, and produce; cleaning, helping with merchandising, inventory, taking out trash. The job is very physically demanding. With that said, it WILL start to take a toll on your body. Although you will learn a lot, this job is not good for long term employment, definitely not to retire from-IMO if you work at the store level. Movement beyond Shift Manager or MT can be quite difficult for those that want to move up. All stores operate on very slim staff (hence why you get paid more), so when call-outs happen or when people quit, it can be a headache to find coverage.
