Business Outlook
Pros
Offers a competitive salary, flexible schedule for uni students, MyALDI app for scheduling.
Cons
Poor work-life balance. I was on a 20 hour contract but often worked 30-35 hours per week. To build the feeling of 'teamwork' Aldi hosts a few events per year for individual stores for all employees (eg paintball or dinners), but this only built tension, politics and blurred the lines of professionalism. Employees were often expected to swap shifts, transfer to other stores, stay on longer than their shifts and forgo breaks. Because of the politics, its difficult to receive promotion even if you're a hardworking employee.
