ALDI Store Manager Trainee reviews

Worst company to ever work for. Turnover rate is extremely high. In the year and half I worked there I seen 27 people quit including cashiers-managers-mts-and district managers. The company doesn't value associates . District managers are extremely childish and immature and don't know how to talk to people. They engage in gossip and extremely unprofessional.

As a Manager Trainee unless you can create a personal relationship with a DM to help get you in a store they will begin to get rid of you after 12 months. To get a store they either have to build it or they have to fire the store manager you will replace. The Store Managers know this when you arrive at their store. They will defend their job and of course will scapegoat the MT. This is an hourly position. Store Manager is salary. This creates a bad situation as many MT's understand they are hourly. The DM's are young and inexperienced. For many this is their first real job. If you get a bad DM its pretty much going to be over for you. Their system of expressing concerns is a way to weed you out if you have a complaint before it goes to high. If you want to stay employed do not under any circumstances complain to a superior or you will be fighting to keep your job. Reward and promotion are solely based on personal relationships. It is much like high school sadly.
