Pros

The company has great benefits for you to enjoy. Although the pay is above the market standard you will be doing twice the amount of work than other similar jobs. You usually work nonstop from the moment you step in to the store until you leave.

Cons

Turnover can be high so a lot can be asked of you. They try to keep overtime to a minimum and if daily sales are down you could get cut early. If you work as a shift manager and the store manager is there, you go back to "store associate" pay yet you are still asked to maintain the same amount of responsibility.

Pros

Great pay and benefits. The job can be rewarding at times to know just how much you manage at such a young age. The experience is great and you will earn a lot to take to another job. You will find out in a few years time if you're made for the Aldi way, if not do yourself a favor and move on to a more balanced business model.

Cons

Work life balance does not exist as a District Manager. Between traveling around to stores, corporate meetings and being on call 24/7 the stress can start to add up. Depending on the strength of other DM's in your area and also the community of potential employees to pull associates- hiring for stores can be the most time consuming and worst part of the job.
