Fast paced environment
Warehouse Operator (Current Employee) – Prestons NSW – 11 August 2018
Good job just rostered shifts which I liked in the beginning then just wanted a Monday to Friday job. Good atmosphere, great people really intense workload some weeks but a good job to be at if you like rostered shifts
Cons
Low hours
I very much disliked working for Aldi a lot.
Store assistant / supervisor (Former Employee) – Ipswich QLD – 11 September 2018
Horrible place to work, they over work the workers and under pay. They run on strict dead lines that nearly seems impossible to meet sometimes. They expect all their workers to run at the exact same pace and be capable of all the same things. Have no consideration for their staffs well being or health and WASTE ALOT of food and clothes that could be donated. Instead they through clothes into the bin because the tag is off or it’s fallen out of the packet. They throw trolleys full of bread away everyday because of their shelf policies.
Pros
2 lunch breaks
Cons
Everything else

Store clerk (Former Employee) – coomera square – 2 June 2018
Aldi is the perfect company to work for, they give you skills and training that you would never expect to learn in a supermarket environment.

Shocking Culture
Retail Assistant - Part Time (Current Employee) – Mornington Peninsula VIC – 19 May 2018
Managers are very pushy, treat you very poorly and have no time to listen to your concerns. i cant say there is a single good part of this job. Avoid working here if you can
Pros
none
Cons
Management pressure, injury, poor culture
plesant enough place to work at but not ideal
Retail Assistant (Former Employee) – Adelaide SA – 16 May 2018
busy days, long hours, often stayed back overtime. was expected to work late nights when not rostered on. high expectations. good team mates. good lunch breaks but fast paced, in realistic expectations of team.
Pros
hour lunch breaks
Cons
long hours, early mornings
Great for a part-time job
Store Assistant (Current Employee) – Mundaring WA – 1 May 2018
Been with the company for 2 years since their launch in Western Australia, including training 6 weeks before the official opening.
Coming from a recent graduate, ALDI is the perfect job for university students looking to make some money in a part-time gig whilst they study - impressive rate p/h, great penality rates, extensive training, have been flexible and acknowledged the importance of my study, good work-life balance, caters for family aswell.
Only cons would have been the fact that ALDI is a very cost reducing company and it means you are worked hard and fast, you will not be able to fake hard work here.

Toxic cult-like business
Sales Assistant (Current Employee) – Melbourne VIC – 7 April 2018
Run like the military, they either break you until you are completely automated or they walk away and don't give you the time of day. Many illegal and immoral business practices treated like normal procedure. The work itself is not too challenging but the internal politics is very 1940s Germany. Stay away if you have self respect!
Pros
Pays well and pretty mindless work
Cons
Submit or leave culture
Hard work minamal recognition
Deputy Manager (Former Employee) – ACT ACT – 28 March 2018
Unless you want to work yourself to the bone for your $24.40 an hour or be bullied for not doing so don't bother applying.
Sure is above average pay for retail but the quality of people who are hired is horrendous. Heaven forbid you are one of the good few because then you have to do both your job and everyone elses.
Good luck.

Pros
Above average entry level pay
Cons
Zero recognition for working your a#s off
fast paced
Shop Assistant (Current Employee) – Brisbane QLD – 27 March 2018
Shifts usually start at either 6am or 2:30-3:30pm. Everything is extremely repetitive and expected to be done quickly. Friendly staff, but can be very stressful. Managers are decent, lots of weekend work, and late finishes.
Pros
Good hourly rate
Cons
Terrible hours
Poor Management starts from the top
Warehouse Worker (Former Employee) – Brendale QLD – 19 February 2018
Very poorly managed from the top that works its way down to supervisors .. Lack of knowledge in the industry from logistics managers shows big time .. Transport especially .. Opinions are best kept to yourself or you are then looked at as trouble .. Supervisors will stick together even if they know they are in the wrong and when you start to see that , then you realise you have got your own back as they don't .. lots of backstabbing and nothing gets done ..
Pros
Easy work
Cons
Work most weekend, bad management and favouritism
productive and fun at work
Retail Sales Assistant (Former Employee) – Nowra NSW – 7 February 2018

Horrible
Store Assistant (Current Employee) – Gold Coast QLD – 1 February 2018
Rosters are not given out in advance, so you do not know what shifts you are working in 2 weeks time. They expect ridiculous speeds for running of stock, for a small person like me it is very hard to achieve and the manager watches and lets staff know if they are too slow, it is very stressful. Manager sits in office a lot of the time. No work life balance, you can do two 10pm finishes in a row, have one day off then start at 6am, how are you supposed to get a routine with shifts like that. You are expected to work most weekends and public holidays. Breaks are not offered for short shifts even though they are legally required. You are expected to keep working past the end of your shift when you are on a close and everything is not done, they do not ask if it is okay they just tell you to keep working. They have little regard for the well being of their staff, you are expected to be fast and be able to complete five tasks at once. Very physically demanding and stressful. The pay is okay but it is not enough to compensate for the lack of work life balance and toll on your body.
Pros
Pay day
Cons
Pretty much everything
Alright
Casual Stock Replinsher (Current Employee) – Forster NSW – 31 January 2018
Ive learned you have to understand stuff in a short frame, managers are very nice, all the staff are amazing and very understanding, may have to cut new people some slack
Pros
Good People
Cons
Early Start
unfair work place
Deputy Manager (Former Employee) – Bethania Junction QLD – 30 January 2018
higher management are useless! long hours for small pay! no care for staff! things are done backwards and double handling! not willing to listen to staff they just pretend to! so many things would be awesome there if there wasn't so many big heads in management!
Pros
some good staff
Cons
the hours and pay rate
Good

The team i worked with wasn't supportive, they did what they had to, to continue to do their job.
Retail Assistant (Former Employee) – Young NSW – 22 January 2018
Management wasn't good at support when team members needed extra training, Felt due to a personal bio my training was rushed, the hardest part was mental stress.
