• Best thing

  Going home, paid breaks

  Worst thing

  5am starts, working all 1200-2215 then a random morning shift thrown in after 1 day off then back to 1200-2215.
  The stress, being almost always understaffed despite being told we're saving hours that day. Far too much stock for the size of the shop to the point you can't move in the wearhouse without kiveung 6 pallets first

• Best thing

  The team I work with are quite tight group, most get on well. Not really much else

  Worst thing

  The Hours are horrible, working a 10hr shift with 30 mins break?
  The actual job it’s self is mind numbing, and not to mention 95% of the time you’re understaffed and overworked.
  Constantly being told to be faster and better, “that’s not how we de-card” “20 mins a pallet” This is so unrealistic, not even managers hit that target yet they expect you to.
  Customers think they own the place, although i understand this is probably the same with most customer based jobs.
  Main takeaways are, you’re overworked, understaffed, and not given a proper break.
  Also, not to mention that if you’re scheduled for a 12-10, you won’t be out the store til at least 20 past.

• Best thing

  The team and the work itself. There is always somthing to do

  Worst thing

  Changing shifts can be hard as you have to find your own cover. Costumer can be horrible. Managers have no clue about what they're doing and are always pushing for more out of staff

  8.4

  Store assistant at Aldi, December 2024

• Best thing

  genuinely nothing. if compared to the average retail job. (no discount, short breaks, horrible managment) I know im gonna get labelled as an angry disgruntled employee but on the surface I smile and get on with everybody (att least epople think I do). This job is just so horrible with terrible managment and a toxic work place

  Worst thing

  I have worked for several retailers across the uk and aldi is by far the worse. They try and sell it to you that they do twice the work with half the staff and that if you don't like it your not made for the job. This is just to deflect from the fact that you are getting payed minimum wage to work twice as hard and treated so badly by management. Always told your not quick enough. Some of the managers like to boast about how much money the store is made throughout the day like I care (like I literally know one that just said it "stinks of money" like hes making it) Im constantly talked down to and patronised at this job. I only got given a 30min break for an 12h shift but its paid so thats...great. At this job im constantly made to feel like im not enough. its made me so unhappy. Aldi claim to be a great work place but its the worse most toxic enviroment I have ever worked in.
