Pros
If you are ruthless and ambitious you can move up in this company very quickly. Very sociopath friendly company.
Kontras
The culture at Aldi: Here are the main phrases I heard everyday during my near 10 years with Aldi. 1. "Work harder and faster" no matter how hard or fast you are working, it will never be good enough. There are no excuses. 2. "You can't go home 'til it's finished". If it takes an extra 6 hours after a 10 hour night shift, tough luck. 3. "Your thanks is your paycheck" never expect a thankyou or well done. That's what is expected of you, because Aldi pays you the extra pound an hour. Anything less is unacceptable. "I just go home and drink" I lost count of how many members of the management team give this exact answer when speaking about how they cope with the pressure.
