  • Yes


  • 8. What advice would you give to others applying to Aldi
  • You have to be prepared to work - it sounds silly but they expect alot from you and you will not be respected if you do not show respect to others by doing your allocated work - Aldi is not a placement you can just "pass-by" and have a easy year out of university. It is a year of experience and Aldi are good at exposing you to the business and letting you get that epxerience
