Pros

Excellent pay. You can build a strong resume while they use you up.

Cons

Aldi cares absolutely nothing about anyone or anything except their bottom line. They create fear. They create unrealistic goals, that you have to cut corners to acheive. If you don't meet the goals they can fire you. They know about the corners they force you to cut, however, if they want to get rid of you they use them against you.

Pros

Pay is above average. Get to make your weekly schedule as store manager. If in a nice neighborhood will get to know your customers by first name basis.

Cons

Aldi is all about productivity. That means 2 people in the store to open, 2 to close and on weekends if lucky you get a mid. All work still needs to get done and it is on the salaried store manager to complete and work extra hours without any extra compensation. The part that makes it very difficult is the physical demands on your body on top of long hours.

Pros

Excellent pay and benefits. Stores are closed on most holidays. Lots of work makes the day go by quickly.

Cons

DMs are hired straight out of college and often have poor leadership. Most cannot think for themselves or challenge their own leader which makes decisions take much longer than necessary. Expectations vary greatly among DMs which causes inconsistency between stores. Training is poor on all levels. Most employees feel like they don't know how to do their job properly and there is never any time to give additional training to them.
