ALDI Cashier Associate reviews

Aldi doesn't seem to like to hire alot of people. Often we are short staffed. We get timed on the register , they expect the cashiers to get the lines down as fast as they can which makes a lot of customers angry because they say that the cashiers throw their stuff in the cart and a lot of people expect the cashiers to bag their stuff for them. Cashiers do everything in the store from stocking to cleaning to ringing to unloading pallets in the morning. The schedules vary from week to week and usually full time workers don't get the full 40 hours except in the summer full time workers get up to 47 hours per week. Also the associates that come unload the truck are expected to ring and don't have much time to unload the truck and usually are expected to stay past the time they are scheduled to. Cashiers are expected to count their own money drawer and make a deposit before they leave which takes like an extra 20 minutes after the time they are scheduled to. Also they really don't care about how they schedule you the store closes at 9 but employees don't leave until everything is done which can be up to 12am and sometimes the people that close are expected to unload a truck the next day at 6am less than 6 hours of sleep.

They tell you your availability should be from 5am-11pm, you end up staying past 11 a lot of days making it over a 10 hr shift. They expect you to do the work of 3 people. They are also changing and making the store open on some holidays, and your vacation time. Also, poor scheduling.. Close one night (until anywhere from 10-midnight) then open the next morning at 5am to do the truck for 4 hours(veerry physically demanding) and then work at least 4 more hrs after on the floor or as a cashier. It's an exhausting job with high stress levels and poor management.
