9a. Would you recommend Aldi to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

well paid job the staff are really kind and always helping each other out you can have friendly workplace banter they are flexible if you ever need time off for something however i do feel the worklife balance can be really touch at times and staff should get more time off at weekends

just be yourself dont change to try fit in or please others and dont be afraid to ask if you ever need something
