Pros

Your work is rewarded with a high salary, but not much else apart from that.

Cons

Although you are contracted to 45 hours, its not possible to do your job in this amount of time, so a realistic week looks more like 55-60hours, if not more. If you take this into consideration, the salary really isn't that impressive. You are expected to reach a lot of unrealistic targets, and when you ask for support you are met with the beloved phrase of "you're paid the big bucks for a reason" and "if this job isn't for you, then don't do it". If you're not performing as expected (which anyone rarely is due to the nature of the role), you will be berated and given "opportunity" to resign. The company breeds a culture of competition, and it feels like your coworkers are waiting to see you fail, rather than support you to succeed. I can honestly not recommend Aldi as an employer. You will lose sense of who you are as a person, Aldi will consume you and you will be burnt out.

Pros

-Benefits are plentiful and nice -Salary is okay

Cons

-Located in Salzburg - if you are not all about mountains and lakes and walking in nature, but an active city life, look for something else. - city is dead and as boring as it gets Some managers are clearly not capable of working with people and act like entitled children - the company will not do anything as it is easier to find a new specialist or assistant than a new manager or at least this is their approach. If you are lucky to get into a nice team, then the job itself could be enjoyed, but if you get one of the "other" managers, then you will be bullied until you decide to leave or they fire you eventually. Some teams have positions where in the past 2 years they had already 5 people fired due to "bad work ethic"... Of course not 1 person investigates what could be the background of the stories with the managers where again and again the "unlucky" hires keep on happening.

Pros

great insurance, flexible schedule, hybrid schedule, good company core values

Cons

With new system transition we are now being asked to make other tasks our top priority instead our job. I handle more data entry & billing issues than I do focusing on my desk. Drastic disconnect on workload accumulation with new systems for ABs. Very strange system for hiring buying directors. While they come in with ALDI workplace history and knowledge it doesn’t translate into buying. I have to teach my director about my tasks/responsibilities as she has no understanding of what we do. I’m lucky that I really like my director and she has her strengths as a leader. However, the strategy utilized for hiring that position is very odd.
