"There's tough, and then there's Aldi Tough". A great reflection from the placement and graduate brochures I picked up. However, the enjoyment, and amount learned throughout the year, makes the tougher days well worth while. Massively. I thoroughly enjoye...
It is a tough placement, particularly the amount of awkward hours you work, however, it is equally rewarding.
My experience at Aldi has been incredibly tough but the rewards and experience make every moment worthwhile. I have had the opportunity to learn about the company but also to learn about myself and what skill areas I need to improve on. Every aspect of th...
The placement scheme was very enjoyable, although equally challenging at times. There are a lot of highs and lows throughout the placement and maintaining a positive outlook is essential. While at times working as a manager within store felt difficult, it...
Overall I have enjoyed the placement. There were aspects I found very rewarding but there were certainly some very low points too. During my time in store I initially struggled with my store assistant training as it was incredibly demanding both phys...
There is no doubt the past year has had its challenges and overall the year has been hard work. Saying this, I have thoroughly enjoyed the challenge and feel it has taught me so much about myself.
It was an incredibly tough year but was filled with so much learning and new experiences. From running an Aldi store to working in the warehouse to acting the role of Area Manager for 3 or 4 stores all created an invaluable experience that I thoroughly en...
In my year at Aldi, I don't think I have ever learnt so much in the space of one year. It may have been one of the hardest years of my life but I have enjoyed every second of it. For Aldi you have to be willing to work long hours but the job is very rewar...
As the placement is varied and covers a wide array of areas in the business, you are constantly facing new and different challenges. This ensures that you don't get bored of doing the same repetitive tasks. This meant that I enjoyed all parts of my work p...
Although I found the placement difficult during the start of store time, I began to enjoy it and understand the role of an area manager the more I developed throughout the business and understood how the business operates from the ground up. I felt like I...
I thoroughly enjoyed my year-long placement with Aldi. The scheme is varied which keeps the work interesting and prevents it from becoming monotonous. The year can be thought of as two completely separate 6 month placements, with the first 6 months spent ...
I thoroughly enjoyed this placement. The amount of responsibility and autonomy given to you is immense, you would struggle to receive the same levels on any other placement. Overall Aldi is a fantastic environment for you to grow as an individual.
Working at Aldi was the most challenging year, but it was also the most rewarding. They are a company that I have always dreamt of working for, so getting the job was initially a shock! I feel that I am a totally different person almost 12 months on. Not ...
The year was on the whole enjoyable, however there are certainly low points. Your experience definitely depends on the atmosphere of the store that you are working in and unfortunately the manager in my first store time did not set a good example of lead...
It's hard to assess the placement as a whole because the first part when we are at a store is completely different from the 2nd part at the Regional Office - it's more like two separate placements. I did not enjoy the former that much and was counting do...
There were times when I thoroughly enjoyed the work placement at Aldi, but also times where I did not enjoy the placement. Whilst I was working in head office doing various projects with massive responsibility and value to the company, it was a very enjoy...
The overall Aldi Placement Year was amazing and something I thoroughly enjoyed. The retail atmosphere is something that I craved and if you think you would enjoy a fast-paced always-moving place of work Aldi is the place to be! The best part of the placem...
I really enjoyed my year with Aldi, there was a clear plan put in place so i knew exactly what i was doing each week, which i found really helpful. It is a challenging year, you are given a lot of responsibility across the whole business and required to p...
I thoroughly enjoyed my placement. There are of course lows and highs within the year, which is likely to be the most challenging to date, however on the whole the challenge and opportunity that is presented to you is very enjoyable and is exceptionally r...
I absolutely loved my whole year with Aldi. It was the most challenging and most rewarding thing I have ever done, and to have got through the entire year is a great accomplishment. If you throw yourself in, and really get stuck in with all the different ...
