ALDI Employee Review

Stressful

Store Assistant (Former Employee) - Labrador QLD - 22 November 2022

Very stressful place to work. Shifts can start at 6 am and very often they give you very short shifts, sometimes only 4 hours so you have to wake up before 5 and travel just to do this short shift.

Not supportive and uses you

Store Assistant (Former Employee) - Melbourne VIC - 25 January 2023

I worked at aldi for about 4 months and I was told that They don’t need me anymore because I don’t meet the probation standards, I was good at the register but I was slower at running load because they never got me to do it, I was always sitting at the register I only did the load running like 7 times in 4 months and they expected me to perfect it. I hurt my back/hip at work and they did not consider that and still expected me to perform my best even though it was ongoing pain. They use employees for 3 months and fire them at the end of probation period and hire new ones when they need to and that’s why aldi is always short staffed with 3 people running the store, they pay you 2 dollars more than other stores and make you work to the bone for it.

Pros

Good staff

Cons

Not supportive, expect to much

Fast paced & demanding

Store Assistant (Former Employee) - Wa - 21 December 2022

While I was employed here, from the gecko you were pressured into knowing everything in store & what to do. Now if you slip up example being not fast enough, watch out. I had a very demanding DSM who would push me til I nearly collapsed of exhaustion, & this is normal to them.I was constantly pushed, wasn't allowed to talk to customers. Constantly put down.You will not have a family balanced life.

Pros

Co workers

Cons

Nothing

Full paced work place

Retail Assistant (Former Employee) - Labrador QLD - 2 March 2016

Great work place, Aldi keeps you on your feet at all time making sure everything is perfect inside the store. The co-workers that I worked with personally were some of the best people i have every met before, they were always there to help you when you needed it. The worst part of my job was being looked down upon, yes i had just started a new job but when i did my job i did it to the best it could be done. But once i had finished it someone would always go back and do it again
