ALDI reviews

My time at Aldis was as good as it gets for working in a grocery store. I worked as a cashier and my starting pay was $11 an hour. After working there for about 5 months, the district manager called me just to tell me that I got a $.25 raise. Mind you, I didn't do anything special to earn this. I was actually one of the slowest cashiers they had. But Aldis has a culture that supports and appreciates their employees. It just seems to be part of their business plan as a whole. If I had kept working there I know that they would have kept giving me raises and my retirement 401k (which they matched but I don't remember how much) would have kept growing. As an employee you are expected to hustle! You will build those muscles during your employment here but Aldis knows that and treats you with respect and appreciation. If you wanted to advance, manager positions are always available for $15 an hour starting and do not require a degree. The district managers I knew were very professional and nice. Aldis likes to retain their employees so if you wanted to move up even further, a district manager position requires a four year degree, not necessarily in business or management, just a degree if you are the right fit. I think they get paid $25/ hour and up.

The work is very physical so there is no need for a gym membership. It is a very fast paced position so the time seems to fly by. The compensation is above industry standards.
