Pros

Great pay! I wish there was more (20 word minimum)

Cons

The pay is great at ALDI and that is how they reel you in. However, once in you will realize that almost everyone you encounter will attest to the lack of training. Even those who managed to get promoted will agree, as if they don't even know how they made it as long as they did. The micromanagement at this company is ridiculous. They hire district managers straight out of college, these (potentially great) young men and women haven't even learned how to be responsible for themselves and now have the responsibility of 30 - 40 employees, half of which could and would do the job better, but aren't considered worthy due to lack of a degree. Hey ALDI...did you know "on the job experience" is comparable, in some situations (not all BUT some). Turnover is absolutely RIDICULOUS...I saw over 20 employees leave in my 18 months with the company. They range from associates on up, including 2 store managers and 1 district manager. Why doesn't anyone want to stay with this company?

Pros

The culture is strong, consistent, and focused on success. These are incredibly important characteristics in the retail industry, as things are constantly changing and leadership must be the immovable rock in a sea of change. Your coworkers at the district manager level are pretty great people. While you don't spend a lot of time working hand in hand, it's a team of people always willing to help each other out. Benefits are nice, as is the pay and company car. The company is growing, and highly successful. It is a place you can be proud to work.

Cons

You will work some weekends, some early mornings, and some late nights. You can, however, make up for those odd hours by starting late that day, taking a day off during the week, etc. It is a 50-60 hour per week job. It can cause some stress.
