What attracted you to a career with Aldi?
I’ve been working at Aldi’s Knocknacarra store as a Store Assistant since late 2019. I previously worked in hotel management and catering and I was keen to bring my experiences to the table.
What is the best part of your job?
For me, it’s working as part of a team and knowing I have the support network needed to forward my career. Aldi recognises and rewards hard work and there are excellent opportunities to progress. If you have a great work ethic, Aldi will happily push you forward in your career.
What kind of benefits do you get?
Aldi offers market-leading pay and is the highest paying supermarket in Ireland. The training we receive is also fantastic. From training courses to customer service essentials, Aldi values staff and ensures everyone performs to the best of their ability. Aldi also offers paid holidays and a rewards scheme.
What about work/life balance?
I compete in MMA and I’ve represented Ireland in judo, so I have a busy schedule outside of work. It remains a key part of my life. We work in shifts and the hours are flexible which means I have enough time to enjoy my personal interests. Our shifts and hours are also planned 4 weeks in advance which really helps with planning my life outside of work.
