  • 9. Would you recommend Aldi to a friend?
  • No


  • 9b. Why?
  • I would recommend it to someone for a job but the apprenticeship doesn't seem to live up to what you would expect of an apprenticeship.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Aldi?
  • Have a job at the time of application, have a lot of extra curricular activities under your belt and go to the interviews prepared and with a good attitude.
