Pros

It is a solid company with good pay. They are very fair. Must be willing to work hard and many hours. Flexible work schedule.

Cons

Depends on your boss, but many are micro managers. Don't allow you the freedom to be the expert at your own job. Only promote from within the company. You must start at the bootom and work your way up.

Pros

Good pay and good co-workers, most customers pretty cool

Cons

Corporate is too demanding, no room to grow, once in the store you're stuck in the store

Pros

You are never bored and the days fly by. For retail work the money is way better than average and the store close at a decent hour. The benefits aren't bad, but not great, and once you get established as a manager and prove you know what you are doing they tend to give you a wider berth to operate within. The DM's handle the hiring process, including the background check and drug testing along with all the new hire paper work.

Cons

Like any other retail store the days can be long sometimes. Aldi stores tend to operate with a minimum staff, so if someone has an unplanned extended absence things can get rough really quickly for a store manager. The job is VERY physical!!!! Throwing the inbound trucks and handling all the special buy items can be back breaking work. Sometimes even the college kids leave worn out at the end of the day. This is the only aspect of the job that I find really daunting. Sometimes the long hours and extreme physical nature of the job results in injuries (we've had several at our store).
