Terrible treatment of employees by all management. - Anonymous employee ALDI Employee Review

The only reason I worked for aldi as long as I did was the pay. After being accused of several things I didn't do, I was told (as most employees are) to quit or be fired. I quit. There are many things I disliked about this company. First, you'd have to work some nights til 11pm, then come in at either 530 or 6am the next day, leaving an insufficient time between shifts for sleep. Working with 5 or 6 people total in a store open 7 days a week was ridiculous. No one would help out if you needed to call off. Also, the way we handled food disgusted me. Taking out rotten strawberries and repacking the "good" ones into a new container together? UGH. Not to mention, when we had to load the freezer or cooler, we'd have to take out all of the pallets and leave them sitting in the back room until we were done putting in product. There would be days when frozen food would sit out for upwards of 5 hours. The wages we were paid were great, at first, but you soon realize the truth about they way this company is run, and it's not worth it.
