Charlene Eaton was 18 months into her Aldi career as an area manager when she became pregnant with her son, Sebastian, now four. “To be honest, I didn’t think of all the ways it would change mine and my husband’s lives,” she says. “Luckily, when I told my manager, he said he would be led by me – that I had lots of options, and that I might change my mind about them once I had the baby. He was right!”
Four years on, Eaton is benefiting from the flexibility that an Aldi career offers, now working as an HR manager in the national office. Life circumstances can change very quickly – and in an uncertain world, more are considering a career which can change with them.
