Het leukste aan werken bij Aldi was het loon. Als je niet sterk in je schoenen staat, raad ik je zeker af om bij de Aldi te solliciteren. Natuurlijk is niet elk filiaal hetzelfde. Maar mijn ervaring zal ik nooit vergeten.
Er word van je verwacht dat je snel bent. En dan bedoel ik niet gewoon werken op een goed tempo, maar onmenselijk snel. Sneller dan het licht. Het is niet acceptabel dat ik, als een klein mens van 1,60, niet een volle pallet met ongelofelijk zware dozen binnen een half uurtje kan uitpakken.
Heb je na je eerste 1-2 weken nog niet ALLES onder de knie en durf je om nog vragen te stellen? Dan krijg je dit gegarandeerd elke dag te horen. Maar maak je geen zorgen, nadat je bij elke vraag te horen krijgt dat je dit ´´al had moeten weten´´ en ''schrijf het gewoon op'', zal je nooit meer vragen durven te stellen. Maar waag het niet om een enorme fout te maken omdat je geen vragen durft te stellen.
Vind je het niet erg om zware dozen te tillen? Dan moet je natuurlijk wel de zure roodharige vrouw die al 20 jaar bij de Aldi werkt overleven. Als je niet alles perfect en in een onmenselijk tempo kan doen, probeert ze je namelijk weg te pesten en te overtuigen om te stoppen met deze leuke baan. En vergeet zeker niet de wc te gebruiken VÓÓR je dienst begint, niet erna! Anders rent ze je achterna (já, echt helemaal tot het toilet) en krijg je de preek van je leven over wanneer jij de wc mag gebruiken. Want plassen, is blijkbaar een misdrijf.

Als je jezelf ziek meld, en je moet geopereerd worden. Je geeft aan wat voor operatie er op de planning staat, dan bellen ze je de dag na de operatie op. En ondanks dat je moet revalideren moet je binnen één week naar de bedrijfsarts en die staat onder druk van de Aldi. Binnen 2 á 3 weken moet je weer aan de slag. Kan je er zelf niet komen omdat dat je beperking dan is, zeggen ze gewoon dat is jou probleem je ziet maar hoe je er komt. Ze zijn bikkelhard voor hun personeel. Al val je om van de pijn of wat dan ook, je moet door gaan. Al is het met één been of één arm je moet komen werken, dan ga je maar met één been op wat kratjes bier omhoog achter de kassa zitten. En met één arm kan je ook gewoon wat opruimen. Zeer slecht voor hun personeel. Krijg je een buikoperatie dan word je niet gelooft en kan je ook komen werken. Je moet jezelf gewoon de vernieling in werken voor hun.
Vooral hard werken als dat in je zit, dan is dit bedrijf geweldig
Hard werken; veel verdienen! Kan regelmatig behoorlijk stressen zijn, maar als je van korte lijnen houd is dit een goed bedrijf. Qua uren/ salaris goede balans. Best betaalde supermarkt van Nederland. Wel moet je heel flexibel ingesteld zijn!
Dit is een prima bijbaantje. Je krijgt veel uren met best hoog loon voor een supermarkt. Je doet van alles; schoonmaken, kassa draaien, vakken vullen, etc. Je moet het wel van een leuk team hebben, er werken weinig mensen in een filiaal.
Echt een top bedrijf waar je veel kunt leren en goede doorgroeimogelijkheden hebt. Iedereen steunt elkaar en ik zou het meer beschrijven als een familie als een formele werkstructuur. Maar dit is ook afhankelijk van je filiaal.
Aldi was by far with no exceptions the single worst company I ever worked for. The only good thing about Aldi was the pay, but for that they expect you to give them your soul.
Vakantieuren worden ingezet als je ziek bent, vakantie word afgekeurd in zomer, omdat manager als enige in zomer weg mag ivm zijn vrouw zn beroep, lastig werk combineren met privé, ik raad het niet aan!
Aldi is the worst, they are racists and use their staff like robots. They will try and do anything to get rid of you when you talk back to them. Their management is so evil.
Te zwaar werk. Vooral in kleine filialen waar er bijvoorbeeld maar 1 kassa open is en je tegelijkertijd nog pallets moet uitruimen. Het was gewoon echt verschrikkelijk

An sich scheint die Stelle bei Aldi besonders als Student attraktiv da der Lohn recht hoch ist. Aber die Firma nutzt diesen hohen Lohn als Ausrede für kompletten Terror. Schon von dem Anfang an wird sehr viel von einem erwartet, und man wird enorm gestresst. Man wird konstant unter Druck gesetzt und alles muss schnell gehen. Fehler dürfen nicht passieren, und wenn man mal einen Fehler macht, wird man zusammengeschrien. Keiner hatte so richtig Lust mir was beizubringen, und stattdessen wurden mir alte Videos gezeigt, die veraltet waren und wo viele Sachen gar nicht mehr so gemacht werden. Wenn ich dann etwas falsch gemacht hab, weil es mir im Video so erklärt wurde, war die Leitung dann direkt sauer. Aber wie schon gesagt, es wollte mir auch keiner so richtig helfen. Als es zur Kasse kam, hatte ich zwei Tage wo mir die Kasse "beigebracht wurde". Danach durfte ich nie wieder an die Kasse, und man hat mich immer die harte Arbeit machen lassen.
Als Student fühlt man sich bei Aldi direkt von allen verurteilt. Meine Mitarbeiter hatten eine herabschauende Art und Weise mir gegenüber. Ich musste mir oft höhnende Kommentare anhören wie " man merkt dir an, dass du nicht viel Erfahrung hast". Anstatt wie versprochen in einer Freundlichen Umgebung seine ersten Schritte in die Arbeitswelt zu machen, wird man terrorisiert. Es ist klar, dass ich als Student nicht viel Erfahrung in der Arbeitswelt habe, aber wenn man nach Studenten werbt und bereit ist diese einzustellen, sollte man auch a

Fix the check-out process at your company; it is the root of so many unnecessary problems!
Unfortunately, several negatives come to mind about working for this company. Virtually all of them center around Aldi's one biggest weakness as a company which it has failed to address.... for years and years: its highly stressful and just downright silly checkout process. As an employee, working on the cash register at Aldi is a monstrosity of a nightmare! It's dumb, it's inefficient, and just downright ridiculous if you want my brutally honest assessment of the situation. Because when you are assigned 'main cashier' duty at Aldi, you are basically required (and expected) to chuck, toss, slam, throw.... any way you can do it, other people's groceries.... which they just bought with their own money...... into the next shopping cart. Management doesn't care if you break or damage items in the process, as long as you keep that line moving at all costs! I literally have had customers scream at me in one ear for scanning way too fast during the checkout process and accidentally damaging their stuff as a result, simply because I'm literally scanning as fast as I can, only for management to then scream in my other ear (literally) about not ringing fast enough and not moving the line along fast enough. This "speedy" check-out process has been a systemic problem at this company for years, yet nothing is ever done to address the situation!! I've worked for this company for a very long time, and have worked in enough of their stores to tell you firsthand that it's a systemic problem e
MinpuntenThe check-out process at this company is unnecessarily stressful.
Quit after 3rd day, they treat workers like robots
Seriously, I would not recommend working here unless you are a robot or absolutely desperate and can't find another job. Don't let the hourly rate and ok benefits rope you in. They are not transparent, not understanding, and expect too much. What should be a red flag is that this company is always hiring which means people are always leaving. The amount of pressure they put on you for what the job actually is and how much you are paid is unrealistic. You might apply for the associate, cashier or stock position but you will do literally every position in the store and then some. You will be stocking shelves doing register stocking the freezer and cooler doing the curbside orders and cleaning the entire store, constantly back and forth all in one shift. If only they had actual assigned positions like other companies the job wouldn't be so stressful. But they want 1 person to do the job of about 5 people, in order to "save money". This is how they're able to have such low prices on products. At the expense of their employees They seemed to be understaffed, and you will quickly understand why. Every single thing is timed from how much items you can scan in an hour or how quickly you can find and pack orders for the curbside pick up. How fast you clean the store and how fast you restock or box the shelves. If you're not fast enough they would constantly threaten you. They do not fully explain what the job actually is because they know it will turn people away. They didnt even trai

MinpuntenEverything I would not recommend you working here unless you are a robot, bodybuilder, or have no life outside a job or super desperate for a job
Aldi presents themselves as a company that cares about their employees and efficiency but in reality all they care about is the efficiency and money. They treat you like robots and record your every move as a cashier from how many items per minute, how long it takes to scan each customers order, how long it takes in BETWEEN customers orders (when customer walks away and u start scanning the next one, how long it takes to complete Instacart orders, time it takes you to find each individual item, how long THE CUSTOMER takes to pay. Why are you being penalized for how slow the customer is? A Great question that they don’t have an answer to. And if your statistics aren’t up to their standards, even if it’s just slightly off, they will let you know that and keep pressing you about working more and faster. As if you’re a computer and not a human being.
Feeling sick? Need to care for a family member? Possibly have covid? Doesn’t matter, because if you’re not able to find someone to cover your shift they’re gonna force you to come into work anyways. Yes, illness and all. The most they’ll offer to do is let you go home early but that’s maybe 1 to 2 hours before your shift ends, which is basically nothing. They also require you to call out 4 hours before your shift starts in order to not get written up, so if your shift starts at 6 am? You will somehow get in trouble for not calling out 4 hours before that…at 2 am…when the store is closed and literally no one is there. And they also
PluspuntenPay higher than other companies in the area
MinpuntenPay still trash because you barely get hours, Terrible management
My experience working for Aldi was at the store in musselburgh(yes the one that was on TV for terrible managment). Although I was meant to be going to the store in Tranent I never got the chance, the time limits are ridiculous, the managment is terrible whilst I was working there the other staff or atleast A large portion of them would sit on there phones in the warehouse whilst I was expected to do ridiculous amounts of work. I sometimes due to the extreme time limits (30 seconds per case) was not able to complete these so there was a time or 2 when i failed a "test" given to me on the picklist, although I have been told by 3! members off staff that the pick lists dont matter and that no one does them properly and to add to this i actually had one of the staff members infront of me speaking to a manager telling him that apprently "he dosent do picklists" in a manner that he was expecting the manager to not care. The managers literally have no idea what they are doing or how to train staff properly although I had been complimented several times on my work and received multiple good feedback forms from the store manager, I still never got kept on past my probation period( just after christmas), they used me for the extra graft that they needed and I bet they are devastated that now that im gone they are actually going to have to do some work no really that must be soul destroying. I could go on and on and on and on but the point is its not a good place to work its a graft whi

Understaffed, too physical & stressful (UNBIASED REVIEW)
THE SECRET:
The secret for the company to keep prices so low is because is understaffed all the time, and if one person call-off, everyone is screw because the company keeps a tight schedule so everyone has to work even faster than what we already have to, the company pay above minimum wage, but you have to work for 2 persons.
NO 3RD PARTY COMPANIES:
Inventory is every 3 months, so we stay between 12 am to 2 am and we usually never get off on time. The company doesn't hire 3rd party companies to do the cleaning neither, so we have to do ALL cleaning too (cleaning washrooms, scrubbing, edging the areas that the scrubber machine doesn't reach, map, sweep, etc.).
REGISTER:
We work the backstock and have to jump to the register quickly and go back to our project stacking up the floor and jump back to the register again and so on. We have to ring at least 40 items per minute, which is also very fast peace even in the register.
MORNING SHIFT:
The morning shift is the most physical and painful shift because some stores open at 5 am and others at 6 am, so we only have 3 to 4 hours to finish ALL pallets IN LESS than 30 minutes each pallet. So, if you are in charge of groceries, for example, you have to do an average of 7 to 12 PALLETS BY YOURSELF or in some rare cases you and another person. If pallets are not done before the store opens, you will STILL have to work the pallets AND the register BACK AND FORWARD until is fully done, otherwise you will n
Schlechte Einarbeitung, sehr stressig und anstrengend, Vergütung ist okay
Die Einarbeitung war leider alles andere als gut, was später zu vielen Problemen geführt hat. Alles wurde nur sehr hektisch und nicht vollständig erklärt, da die Mitarbeiter unter ständigem, sehr hohen Leistungsdruck stehen und sich nicht genügend Zeit für einen nehmen konnten. Für das fehlende Wissen oder Fehler, die andere Mitarbeiter gemacht haben (selbstverständlich hat sich aber nie ein Schuldiger gefunden, also muss es der/die neue gewesen sein), hagelte es später dann immer wieder Kritik.
Die Filiale war ständig unterbesetzt, was die Arbeit nur umso stressiger gemacht hat. Phasenweise war es „normal“, jeden Tag 1-3 Stunden länger bleiben zu müssen, teilweise sogar, ohne überhaupt gefragt zu werden, ob das in Ordnung sei. Gleichzeitig kannte die Filialleitung aber kein anderes Thema als „Wir müssen unbedingt Stunden sparen!“
Das Arbeitsklima war bescheiden. Einigen langjährigen Mitarbeitern hat man eine gewisse Arroganz und Herablassung gegenüber den neuen angemerkt. Die Filialleitung wirkte auf mich sehr oft nicht ihrer Aufgabe gewachsen. Die ständig wechselnden Nachwuchsführungskräfte waren leider genauso wenig hilfreich. Am Anfang musste ich einen Monat auf Arbeitskleidung warten, weil ein Fehler bei der Bestellung gemacht wurde, sodass eine der wenigen netten Kolleginnen mir zwei ihrer T-Shirts ausgeliehen hat, bis meine geliefert wurden. Meiner Meinung nach ein Armutszeugnis.
Alles in allem war meine Erfahrung sehr negativ. Die Arbeit ist körperlich extrem anst
Here is what they won't tell you in the interview:
Here's everything you need to know before applying here. Enter at your own risk. First off all you are timed on everything. If you cannot stock huge pallets of food into the loading shelves in 25 minutes or under you are subject to immediate discipline including termination. The same thing with ringing. If you cannot ring at least 2000 food items per hour you could also get written up or fired. This is what happened to me. I was written up so many times for basically refusing to throw and smash customers groceries into their shopping carts. Management didn't care though. They told me: ring faster or you are fired. So I just decided to quit instead of having this extra pressure. Plus it didn't seem right just throwing and smashing customers groceries around which is very rude. However if you don't ring this way you will be written up time after time then eventually fired. You also get injured a lot here. Every day huge pallets of food products are left on the floor for customers and workers to trip and fall over. Again this also happened to me at least a couple times. You think the company did the right legal thing by complying with workers compensation laws? Nope! Think again. The next thing you should know is the company won't follow labor laws either. For example they force you to skip your mandatory 15 minute rest breaks. Same thing with meal periods. There just won't be enough time in the day to take them. So management makes you forego them. Also your timecards get fudge

My Experience as a Store Associate
I worked for Aldi's for over three years. I was happy working there for the first year. The benefits are very good at Aldi's and the raises are nice. You do work very hard and the work load was manageable in the beginning. When I started, I was happy with the District Manager and the Store Manager that I worked with. Unfortunately, the management staff gets moved around a lot within the company and we received a new Store Manager and District Manager. This, along with the store receiving a huge increase in the number of customers (Save-A-Lot closing), created a not so pleasant work experience.
I will start with the fact that the new store manager was not as committed in his concern and regard for the company. I went to him on a few occasions requesting different shifts because I was always closing, he did not take my concern seriously and never made any changes or effort in compromising with me in regards to the schedule. I am a single parent of three children and working nights and weekends all the time is very difficult. I also later asked the manager and district manager for a store transfer, and I was told they couldn't approve the transfer unless we were fully staffed at our store.
When the manager first started working at our store, he would close once a week. After a couple months he changed his hours to only working day shifts. Nearly every day he left early. For example, if he was scheduled till 5pm, he would usually leave by 2:00 or 3:00pm.

PluspuntenGood benefits, nice raises the first two years
MinpuntenExtremely overwhelming and chaotic work environment
I worked with Aldi's for a few months and it was terrible. You go in blind expected to know where everything is immediately. Was never told during the interview that I would be required to purchase steel toe shoes/boots. The "reimbursement" for purchasing the shoes/boots is a joke, you get an extra three dollars in your paycheck, pay is bi-weekly and it's spread out over the year.
Very fast pace as a cashier, they expect you to be fast. I've always been one of the fastest cashiers at any other grocery stores as I typically ring a minimum of 25-30 items per minute. Aldi's expects you to ring a minimum of 40-42 items per minute. The register is very sensitive and items would double scan pretty quickly and I would end up with a higher void count, especially when items would fall across the scanner. Not to mention when a customer needs to take an item off because of lack of funds whether it be because they are paying with cash or they have a limited amount on their food stamps card. Another problem with the food stamps card is that when the customer pays with the card and they only have a certain dollar amount on the card, for example if their total comes to eighty-five dollars and the ebt card only has forty dollars, the register will decline the card due to "Insufficient funds" and you'd have to pull up the receipt, find out how much is on the card, inform the customer and type in the amount on the card and then have the customer slide the card again. Very time consuming. Ald
