Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Aldi to a friend?
Yes
Why?
They are a successful company and there work ethic is great. They also only hire from the bottom up meaning everyone that works there has been a store assistant and worked all the way up which I think lays out a healthy professional and fair promotion process and framework.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Aldi?
always be yourself they are a good company and being a store assistant with a big personality is awesome and very rewarding when building customer rapports,
