Pros

Good pay...good benefits...great customers sometimes

Cons

You almost have to be insane to work here.They expect you to run insane productivity numbers and still maintain that the customer is #1. How can the customer be #1 when there is one employee in the building trying to ring, throw a truck and mop up a spill. There is no concern for the employees safety with only one employee there. While it is good pay and benefits, you are basically stuck in the same position for a while. They hire DM's straight out of college and don't hire from within, even store manager with or working on a degree cannot be promoted. They say they are working on work/life balance for employees but that is a lie. As a store manager you are expected to be there when and however long they say. Technology is not in their vocabulary. There are so many ways this company could improve in this aspect its not funny. Anyone that posted and said that they liked this job is a lie. Every DM I talk to is miserable as well as manager. The only reason they don't go anywhere else is because of the pay, but they are not happy. Aldi did a survey that told them that pay was not the number one thing on an employees list. Still they do not see how to make their employees happy. Get your head out of your asses and realize that just b/c you pay someone a lot of money you cannot expect them to be happy and go along with everything you say. This is a German company, but we are not in Germany. WAKE UP!!!!!!!YOU SUCK!!!!!!!

Pros

Pay and benefits are good but they work you to death !!! Training was terrible. Training management is so burned and frustrated, you cannot get much out from them

Cons

99% of Aldi store managers I know hate the job but do it for a good pay. That company will work you to death, after a year or so you don't care about the money they pay you. It is impossible to have life outside of work.Manager at Aldi is nothing more than a glorified slave ....... You will never hear any positive feedback from DMs

Pros

Excellent PTO, Starts at 18 days a year. Work Place environment is amazing. Such nice people! There is a raise every year by roughly 2k.

Cons

There is no room for advancement. ALDI makes you aware of this before hiring you, but once actually being in the position there is no way you can advance.
