8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Yes they are currently planning a team building hike for those who want to go. The company is very big on team building and good work environments.

9/10

9a. Would you recommend Aldi to a friend?

Yes

9b. 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.

10. 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,
