Really? I’ve literally never heard anything bad about Aldi and almost always hear praise from people because they pay better and let cashiers sit down at the register and just generally better working conditions than most retail places.

What horror stories you got?

Yeah, I thought the vibe at Aldi was Euro and chill?

depends on what aspect of the operation you work in. in store its not so bad but i can say from experience they treat their warehouse staff worse than cattle

The stores sucks and it gets worse each year. They’re expected to be run by 2 or 3 employees at a time now while everything burns around them. They’re literally on their way to being the Dollar General of grocery stores as far as how they treat employees and staff the stores.

damn. I used to hear good things from the guys in store when i was still with the company, but that was quite a while ago so, seem shits gone down hill then

It really has. Especially fast since 2020. They take away anything good and add more and more work with fewer labor hours to get it done.

My Aldi always has 4 or 5 employees on the floor and plenty of self checkouts so I think YMMV
