Great environment so long as the team you have working with you also wants to work.

Pros

I have a slightly bigger pay than I was used to before and it beats being out of work in this day and age

Cons

I had several other opportunities to work at other companies and I wish I'd have chosen them as I think I'd have gotten more satisfaction out of the job. If you have a few opportunities on the table take anything but assistant manager for aldi, sometimes I stop late and have early starts - so I may as well be on minimum wage rate

Great learning experience, but a difficult company to work for long term.

District manager

Business Outlook

Pros

The compensation and benefits are the best part of the job. They also give you a high amount of responsibility and you learn very quickly. They have a good reputation for having hard working employees, which is beneficial for future job searches.

Cons

You are doing the work of several people, therefore the hours are VERY long and you must be available 24/7. I would receive 3-4 calls in the middle of the night on a weekly basis and even while on vacation. It is very difficult to have a family and work for this company and little to no advancement. Training is often cut short adding additional stress and confusion. Upper management often uses fear and loss of job as main motivators. VERY high turnover at the district manager level.
