Aldi

The people that I work with

Constantly working at speed and only having 1 half hour break during 10 hour shifts.

The hours work well with having a family

It’s not the ideal career

Time goes by fast, good pay rates

Stressful

When you finish your shift and go home.

Bad management. No communication. Expects you to always be available if they need extra people to come in short notice. Managers don't respect you.

My collueges and pay

Customers

Communication with customers, close to my house

Unfair management, tasks depend on who is on shift

It's rewarding and good pay

It's extremely challenging, particularly when there's reduced staff

Busy so time goes relatively quick

Everything I suffer with severe anxiety and my job is the majority of the reason

The only perk is getting to the reduced food first. The team is united - in their hatred of the job

Literally everything

It's like working with your family

Late working hours

Meeting people

Its late always

The pay for a store assistant is good for the work required, however don’t underestimate the hard graft. Deputy pay however is ridiculously low considering the amount of responsibilities, and the company tries to keep the extra £4 on top of your hourly wage when you manage the store alone to a minimum

Progression seems none existent even though they’re always advertising salaried roles. The responsibilities for a deputy are barely outweighed by an assistant manager but the pay gap is huge. Company targets are unrealistic and cripple the morale of staff

Variety and the people I work with

Nasty customers

Advanced schedule

Lots of criticism

The pay

Head office not caring about shop staff

The people

People calling in sick because can’t get cove

The Staff, everyone is friendly. Most arguments are just banter

Can I say Customers?

The people I work with

Horrible customers

Keeps you fit

Very very hard work, 12 hour shifts with 1 x 30 min break covering about 25 miles a day walking on shift. The better you perform the more workload you get, lack of good progression often overlooked if your face fits

Money is quite good

Stress and pressure on a daily basis

Working as a team
Dealing with customers

Rude customers

always doing something
Good pay
enjoyable surroundings

busy
sometimes stressful
fast paced

Set shifts, CPC training ect paid for by Aldi. 4 weeks annual sick pay, 4 weeks holiday pay, pension, nice trucks

The worst things are more the additional jobs that come with delivering groceries, the shop stockroom are always a mess and often no room so I end up having to make space before I can tip my trailer, the stores are under enough pressure as us drivers and the stockroom becomes our problem cause we need to get the stock off our trailer. Favouritism is also an issue amongst/between Management and Drivers.

25 hour contract

Working weekends

Work life balance

Stress at delivery point I.e stores

Pay

Management and no work life balance

Everything love working great company great managerd and environment

Just the odd lazy person

Local

People I work with

Fixed shifts

No incentives are given, management don’t treat you fairly or with any care.

Work colleagues

Long hours, unreasonable deputies, hard tasks for people with bad illness

The pay is good. Shifts have been fairly consistent so far.

Expected to work at a fast past for long periods of time, which can cause mental and physical strain. Customers can be rude. Other staff can be rude or short tempered when you need help, even though you’re new. Thought I would be doing 15 hours and throughout the interview I was told that was okay, but I have had to work 18-20 hours each week instead, which I was not aware would happen when I took the job.

Ample hours, decent pay for the work, great colleagues.

The store runs a tight team so if colleagues calls in sick, the workload can get heavy.

Some of the other staff are great

The rude customers
And we're supposed to keep quiet and not be rude back

No hassle from management left to get on with your work

Pay

Staff rota changing constantly without warning

Money

Pressure, expected miracles with not enough time

The fellow staff who you work alongside. Definitely help make the job more fun and less stressful.

Some customers can make the job draining. The way pallets are stacked and delivered can be seemingly reckless and end up collapsing or being delivered with smashed products/glass on them.

Work Place friendships and environment

Negativity

Aldi is a great employer love the team work and my job

Physical side of things as I get older

The staff im friends with

It’s busy and fast paced ... always on the go .. shifts go really quickly ... some of the team are great others not so ...

The manager and store deputies and the lack of manners ... new members of staff treated differently to the old ones ...

The work , what you do , is very easy and stress free .

The guys , deputies, behind the desk they aren't fair to everyone:(

Talking to (most) customers

Toxic environment

Possibly the pay and hours. Some of the staff are great to work with.

The staff

Managers expectations and support

5 on 3 off, the pay

Working lots of weekends.

Meeting new customers and having a chat when possible I’ve made many friends at work

Having to deal with rude customers at this moment of time

The team, the managers, the feel good atmosphere.

Not having set shifts.
