Vantaggi
There are a lot of nice people there. They have a lot of events for employees.
Svantaggi
This role does all the work for the director. Anything that goes wrong, you are blamed for it. Supplier delays, your fault, supply chain issues, your fault, product not as specified, your fault. You are at the every whim of your buyer who knows nothing about how to process or the systems, just get it done. Software changes all the time, it works one day, not the next, IT can not duplicate the error, just redo everything. Aldi has also begun to outsource these roles. Everyone is overworked and on edge, many are looking for new opportunities but everything is limited for this role. This is a good job if you are looking to get some experience and move on. If you are looking to grow at Aldi, start at the store level and plan to be there for 5 plus years. Even the work from home policy changes days every couple of months, so you can never truly get comfortable with anything.
