Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Leadership team is fine but sometimes hands are tied.
Supportive and have your best interest
They solve problems quickly and effeciently
The leadership team takes the time to support each and every staff member
Review from Operations Dept
Communicative, cooperative, mentorship, room for growth
Review from Sales Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Visit corporate employees like they do store employees. Appear very out of touch.
Time management is a crisis in this establishment. Do better.
Not being bias to people that have been with the company longer. Just because someone has been a cashier for 12 years doesn’t make them more qualified than a store associate. I think my managers are clicky and the way I’m being treated is similar to high school. It’s political not based off r
Leading and being a role model instead of talking down to co workers
Promoting people with more experience.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Paid vacation and sick time are nice. The quality of the health insurance has taken a dive. While paid better than industry averages, aldi expects more out of its store level employees than most other grocery retailers. With that in mind, I'm not sure the pay is commensurate.
everything is great, insurance and all
Good health insurance and HSA contribution
Company car, high salary, good health insurance
Health insurance is very good
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
It’s hard to feel valued when the management team makes no effort to stick to schedules. I knew the pay I was getting into and that’s fine, but if I’m expected to be at work by a certain time, I expect to leave within a certain timeframe, as
Work load, hours, all management are toxic
I think everyone should be paid more and have full benefits including vision and dental. That's not an Aldi problem but a united states' problem. I think Aldi does okay at keeping us fairly compensated with prime pay during the busy summer season. Instead of $16 I'm making $18 which is better.
Aldi expects a significantly higher standard of work than other retail operations, and they do pay above average. But the work expectations still far exceed the compensation. They expect 10x the work for 1.5x the lay of other retail companies
Review from Sales Dept
Increased pay. I can hardly afford gas anyways.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Everyone still cares about the work they do, but morale is starting to wane.
they are personable and some of the nicest and funniest people i have ever met
People do not complain. They just dig in and get the work done.
honest, punctual, fun to work with and responsible
good fun people. we all understand and try to uplift each other from this companies impossible requests
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Co workers are exceptional. Store manager is the problem. She hires her friends who arent qualified and promotes them over other employees
Review from Sales Dept
Stopping leaving all the work for the new people while the old employees sit around and talk all day.
They put one person up front expect you to talk through walkies all the time it's too noisy for that we have self-checkout and people are stealing and you have no way to do anything really and I have no way to contact nobody
completing tasks, less drama, being timely in completing tasks so we get out on time, being reliable.
Better management. Improvement starts at the top, not the bottom.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
It's really a mixed bag. There isn't a whole lot of good that outweighs the bad. It's been like this for close to a year.
my coworkers, my managers, and how we actually value eachother
the group I work for is great.
Very negative right now. Seasonal outings don't help.
it can be positive but if one person falls behind everyone does
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
More diversity and outside hires.
staffing issues, management maturity, less favoritism
New management, investing in outside management training as the training area is not up to par or run by anyone who has been educated in the field.
Better managment. Honest and true and perhapes more clear in my expections.
Management needs to realize that store associates that are paid $16 an hour and barely make 30 hours even for full time employees have a life outside of work
What did you like most about the interview process?
Mine was relatively fast but I have heard horror stories of people going through four and five interviews only not to be hired.
it felt personal, not as intimidating as other interviews
The interview process was ok, but a bit overwhelming with multiple interviews in one day, plus they made me do a physical test. All in one day
The friendliness intially and flexibility
Jesse the district manager at the time took time to answer all the questions that I had and explain the job detail to me in full and ensure that it will be something that I feel comfortable and confident with doing if offered the position he offered and I accepted that was December 2022
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Better job descriptions, currently very generic.
One on one, not group interviews with group tours.
Stop hiring DMs right out of college and start hiring based on experience.
More honesty, very clear, no lies, when yhey offered me the job they were very deceving. They promised more then what I bargged for.
Nothing at all because I would not recommend this job to anyone.
What makes you most happy at work?
Having the tools and time that I need to do a job well done.
meeting new people, customers, and my coworkers
friendly employees. consumer benefit for value
Bonding with customers, my coworkers, and of course not being scheduled to work. They're far from perfect, but I respect them. They work hard and do their best everyday. Even if Aldi doesn't respect or value me as a person, many of the people in my store do. That has to count for something.
I am lucky to have a very approachable and kind store manager who is willing to listen to all of my complaints and concerns, and who actually shows a level of care about me as a person rather than just another worker.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Discrimination and illegal work practices. I have injuries and am waiting to see a doctor. I’m the meantime I’m being forced to do physical labor for long periods of time, trying to make me quit before this a
I'm being ignored by my manager. Have no way to contact my DM I went to my days were took off my schedule because I was sick today and she said that policy is you have to get your shift covered well I'm supposed to be at work at 7:00 and I wake up PUK ing and diarrhea I really don't have no way to g
Performance based promotions need to be mandatory. Enough of the "seniority" based promotions, or as i call it, favoritism.
Im being mistreated at work every shift by one manger something should be done to help me
Stop undervaluing the employees and over empowering the entitled customers.
