ALDI reviews

Depending on who's your store manager, they set the tone of the store, you either love it or hate it. Also, upper management (district managers) are constantly breathing down your back. They lack actual experience in grocery retail most likely just got the job straight out of college, rather just have the "book smarts" for the job. Heard they don't like to promote from within with those positions. Could use room for better work/life balance; always feel like you're constantly on call. They don't believe in set schedules.

Like i said working for the company is great but some days can be 12-15 hour work days just because of the amount of work that needs to be done and the lack of employees. So when we have different tasks that need to be done around the store with only 2 people working a 6 hour work day could quickly become a 12 hour work day. Sometimes it feels as if you are always in the store and never get a chance to be with your family. Even on off days you may sometimes be called in to help out around the store and you already usually only get one day off every week, well at my store(were under staffed). But to me the biggest con has to be the district managers. The DM i had when i first started was one of the greatest people i could have ever worked for but now they are hiring young adults straight out of college and they know nothing about the job. My DM now is at times very intimidating and comes off as not respectful to those under him. I feel like i have to tip toe around him and find myself trying to work around him as much as possible.
