Pros

Compensation and car are good, but not worth it

Cons

Long Hours No Training No real HR to voice concerns to 0 Culture, everyone there is miserable The person responsible for training me wasn't helpful, wanted me to fail from the moment I started and was not friendly or easy to talk to at all.

Pros

Great place to work! Super encouraging and engaging management, who really cares about seeing employees do well.

Cons

Office is in the suburbs which may be a bit of a drive, and pay is quite low in lower level roles (often times hourly pay as well)

Burns everyone out

Pros

The money is great and it keeps people around for awhile. Company car and paid gas and cell phone are a huge benefit. The training program is like boot camp and you will learn more in your first year there than with any other company. The responsibility is enormous and it seems glamorous for a college graduate straight out of school. The company is growing and the products and store designs get better every year.

Cons

On call 24/7. Easily work 60 hours per week including taking phone calls or working at all hours, including days off. Zero appreciation from upper management. They preach work life balance at every DM meeting but the DMs know it’s just for show. Upper management only cares about financials and productivity, which puts a tremendous amount of stress on every DM and store employee. Turnover is a huge problem because of the unreasonable expectations and DMs/Store Managers bare the brunt. If you aren’t ready to devote your life to this company look elsewhere. You are expected to eat, sleep and breathe Aldi.
