Pros

- It's a job There is supposed to be a twenty word minimum, but that's all I could seriously say about this place. I've never worked somewhere so shoddy in all my life.

Cons

- Rats - Food defrosted before refrozen - Holidays denied - Illegal hours - Made to work your breaks - Made to work extra for free every day - No days off for funerals - Abusive management - Far too few staff - Bullying culture - If customers threaten you, the company does nothing - You've not to take action against shoplifters - No barring policy - No communication between management - Frequently moved to different shops - Paltry salary. Assistant managers in Aldi earn more than Farmfoods Area Managers.

Pros

15% discount Nothing else is a pro

Cons

Micro management I’ve never experienced in 10 years of retail management. They’re living in the stone ages in terms of technology. Hourly staff get paid to 15 mins so upper management will try and shaft your pay in the name of prod, no clock in/out machine so you’re reliant on managers clocking you accurately. Everything they do is just weird and backwards. They don’t believe in employee law, 11 hour rest period being the big one.
