Great Employees being mismanaged

Divisional trainer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great pay, good benefits, tight knit crews. Product quality was good, prices are great. Impervious to economic trends. Painfully efficient. Individual work ethic potentially determines who stays and who goes. Credit cards not accepted.

Cons

Company is growing faster than they can handle. People are being promoted out of necessity vs. merit. Too many hours required to perform the job as it is designed. Training is an afterthought for all positions, especially those directly interacting with customers. Higher levels of management are unequiped to deal directly with lower level employees. Pay wages are based solely off a "one size fits all" pay scale which does not take into account the sheer level of stress higher volme stores can create.

Store manager is as far as you're going

Assistant manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Aldi does offer higher pay and better benefits than others in the market. It also saves you money on getting a gym membership.

Cons

Lack of opportunities for advancement. Once you are on one path then that's where you are staying. After running a store for a month have learned that district managers don't care about their managers. I was told that you just have to tell your family goodbye for a few weeks in order to get the job done. Not as family orientated as they once where and claim to be.
