Pros

great insurance, flexible schedule, hybrid schedule, good company core values

Cons

With new system transition we are now being asked to make other tasks our top priority instead our job. I handle more data entry & billing issues than I do focusing on my desk. Drastic disconnect on workload accumulation with new systems for ABs. Very strange system for hiring buying directors. While they come in with ALDI workplace history and knowledge it doesn’t translate into buying. I have to teach my director about my tasks/responsibilities as she has no understanding of what we do. I’m lucky that I really like my director and she has her strengths as a leader. However, the strategy utilized for hiring that position is very odd.

Pros

The organisation has great pay and benefits. The people in the organisation are very pleasant and always willing to offer a supporting hand. The organisation does continue to keep their team motivated and there certainly is work life balance.

Cons

The culture at ALDI is very strict and not 21st century. The AMS needs to be reviewed and maybe every should be treated equally regardless of their job title. Managers need to do more rather than just be ‘people managers’. Career progression should be for anyone who’s capable to to progress rather than just focus on the Grad scheme community.

Pros

Direct coworkers are great and make the job tolerable Flexible hours and work hybrid schedule depending on job function Compensation (it's how they get you) Overall benefits are above par (although a company bonus would be nice instead of just bragging about how much money they make each quarter)

Cons

Management doesn't like to implement new processes often and when they do it takes months to even get the conversations started The "put a positive spin" on everything can get annoying at times The Pareto principle is very true here (80% of the work is done by 20% of the people) and 20% are often just burdened with more work Very hard to move up depending on the team (they tell you nothing is tenure based, but funny how every 3 years your "ready" for the next stage) Your career progression will not be shared with you. Instead you are told "we are constantly growing and the right spot for you might not even exist yet". Everything manager/director level and higher is very secretive Work load can be overwhelming at times 401(K) match is only paid out yearly, not with each pay cycle
