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.

Pros

Great pay! I wish there was more (20 word minimum)

Cons

The pay is great at ALDI and that is how they reel you in. However, once in you will realize that almost everyone you encounter will attest to the lack of training. Even those who managed to get promoted will agree, as if they don't even know how they made it as long as they did. The micromanagement at this company is ridiculous. They hire district managers straight out of college, these (potentially great) young men and women haven't even learned how to be responsible for themselves and now have the responsibility of 30 - 40 employees, half of which could and would do the job better, but aren't considered worthy due to lack of a degree. Hey ALDI...did you know "on the job experience" is comparable, in some situations (not all BUT some). Turnover is absolutely RIDICULOUS...I saw over 20 employees leave in my 18 months with the company. They range from associates on up, including 2 store managers and 1 district manager. Why doesn't anyone want to stay with this company?
