Great job and pay if you don't have any ambition or drive

Pros

This is a great job if you are looking for something that pays well, gives decent benefits, and doesn't require you to think. You come in, do your job, and leave. It's great if you're not looking to advance in your career at all. Perfect for moms who want something stable with a decent paycheck.

Cons

I can only speak for ALDI Corporate. ALDI Corporate wants people to come in, do their job, and leave... they want robots. They are not interested in your ideas or suggestions to make things more efficient. There is no need to work hard, or go above and beyond because all employees at the same level MAKE THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY! You can be the best employee they have ever had--but you're still going to make the same amount of money as the worst employee who is doing the bare minimum to not get fired. Oh, and you wont get promoted either. Corporate leadership positions only go to former District Managers who managed a couple of stores straight out of college for a few years. Somehow that makes them qualified to be corporate managers and directors of topics they don't know anything about, yet are the ones making the decisions?!?!?! Have you ever heard of the assistant training the directors on how to do their job? That's what happens at ALDI. Their technology and process are slow and way behind the standards. They are their own worst enemy and create their own work and stress due to their own inefficiencies.

Pros

The only positive thing would be the salary.

Cons

Aldi does not promote growth within. In the interview process they ask you if you are not okay with moving up, if you respond no then you're out. They do not really care about their employees. You can only move horizontally within the company. Turnover rate was very poor.
