ALDI reviews

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.

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
