      Be prepared to work 60 hrs a week minimum in order to keep the store running well.

      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.

      Inconsistent expectations and poorly structured training

      Store manager trainee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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.

      Great!

      Shift manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great benefits, Great pay. The job itself weeds out coworkers who don't have a strong work ethic. Promotes self-reliance and self-motivation.

      Cons

      Physically demanding. Sometimes long shifts (9+ hours), that are intensified but the amount of physical labor you do on daily basis. If you want to be full time you are essentially "on call" and need to have open availability. No taking classes or requesting certain nights off for your bowling league or whatever. Burnout rate for cashiers is very high. If you respond better to positive reinforcement, this is not the job for you. They only let you know when you are doing something wrong.
