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.

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
Zero progression unless you are from Nepal or India
Retail Assistant (Former Employee) – Chatswood Sydney NSW – 11 January 2018
If you are considering working at the Aldi Chatswood store only apply if you are from Nepal or India because they do not accept anybody but there own!! Received a lot of discrimination and isolation because I am not from these countries! They communicate in their own language and look out for each other. I would look elsewhere if I were you.
Pros
None really
Cons
Discrimination, bad management, no appriciation for all your hard work
Warehouse Operator
Warehouse Operator (Current Employee) – Gold Coast QLD – 30 October 2017
Love my job because it is physical and everyone here works as a team. If you have exceptional leaders you can learn a lot in this environment. I hope Aldi keeps up the great benefits they have for their staff
Pros
Everything
Cons
Nil
Don't get fooled by the salaries they offer!
Store Manager (Former Employee) – Canberra ACT – 22 September 2017
Once you get to store Manager that's it without a degree you cannot progress further.
Senior management very poor in southern NSW/ACT. Bullying behaviour and intimidation tactics used to get you to bend the rules and run your staff into the ground.
Disappointing culture for such a successful business (poor performance not addressed and outstanding performance overlooked).

Assistant (Former Employee) – Brisbane QLD – 4 September 2017
My individual experience while employed there, I enjoyed every day work at Aldi, for me it was the best experiences I had, I learned a lot, we did everything from cleaning, restoring shelf, filling new products, helping customers. Salary great, working hours great, some of coworkers great.
Productive and fun work place

Great company to work for
Aldi Store Assistant (Current Employee) – Geelong VIC – 22 August 2017
Aldi as a whole is a great company to work for. Very flexible hrs and above industry wages. The hardest part of the job would be working all the stock in the morning but apart from that everything else is relatively easy.
Low hours, good pay rate, hard work
Store Assistant (Current Employee) – NSW North Coast NSW – 20 August 2017
Great place to work although you will need to constantly request more hours until you are management.
Managers are requested to display a tough attitude and teamwork & incentive is not encouraged.
A roster of odd hours every week is very likely.

Stock-hand (Former Employee) – Kwinana WA – 14 June 2017
It was a great environment with friendly employees. I really liked the free fruit for employees Aldi did when having lunch. I also really enjoyed the store layout.
Hard work with steady pay
CUSTOMER SERVICE ASSISTANT (Current Employee) – Western Australia – 13 June 2017
A company that expects you to be a robot and work your butt off with no praise for doing so. Very hard and heavy work load expected in short time frames. There is no flexibility or balance for work/life. My family suffers a lot due to very un balanced rostering. Customers quite often get upset as there are no staff on the floor to help with enquiries due to running only 2-3 staff per shift.
Pros
You get salary as a permanant part time employee
Cons
Very hard work, no balance with life
interesting and productive
Retail Sales Assistant (Former Employee) – Brisbane South QLD – 3 June 2017
I use to work in ICU with the patient of knee and hip replacement. I learned how to manage pain and provide basic care. A typical day was, when one of our went in psychosis, it was most horrible night in my life. Most enjoyable part was to communicate with colleagues and clients.
Pros
Free tea
Cons
Less salary

Management have no values and have total disregard for workplace and national agreements.
Transport Operator (Former Employee) – Derrimut VIC – 25 May 2017
"Aldi World" once you step inside all rules and regulations under national and workplace agreements are not adhered to. Management continually state " we run by international law, not Australian law". There is no values towards employees, no proper training or induction. Expectations of what you are required to do are unreachable. They employ the wrong people for supervisor and management positions. Their ideas are to employed monkies that will do what they are told, these are the ones that tend to get promoted, and not the ones that will do the job properly. If you are happy to do a job that is against health and safety regulations and keep your mouth shut, you will love it here.
Pros
Not very much, pay is the only thing.
Cons
Everything else but wage.
Good hours and pay rates
WAREHOUSE OPERATOR (Former Employee) – Prestons NSW – 17 May 2017
Their policies are a bit unfair and they don't have a union or anything so its very hard to have rights and they use that to their advantage at Aldi.
They also offer the opportunity for you to go permanent after you prove yourself, which is fine but if they don't hire you on a permeant basis you can no longer work at Aldi as a casual. If you do not accept the opportunity to go permanent you can no longer work at Aldi also. Aldi will also just cut your shifts without letting you finish your roster. They also will not give a reason as to why and you will not even hear from the employers at Aldi its self you will be called by the recruitment agency you are with . The employment agency is not given a reason for your termination either.
After this your superiors at Aldi are uncontactable.
