      It is a great place to work, but they never tell how well you are doing in terms of advancement

      Pros

      Great Benefits. Great hours for being retail.

      Cons

      Hardly get 40 hours a week. Never get a pay raise. They do not communicate well when an assistant is motivated to move up and get own store. I was told after 12-15 months if you peform well then you should have yoru own store, well that did not happen and they never really would communicate to me about my concerns for advancement.

      Exhausting, frustrating at times, good pay, no work/home balance

      Manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good Pay, Holidays off, Limited late shifts with exception to inventories and company installations overnight. Depending on DM can be honest and reasonable work expectations, however they always expect more than one mgr can acheive with limited staff. I currently have a DM I work well with and a fair Director both give feedback. We are a new division, with a lot of experience from old division we bracnched from so support comes from sr str mgrs.

      Cons

      Often unreasonable expectations, extremely limited staffing hours compromise safety especially in high crime areas like city stores. You will not be backed by sr mgmnt even when a customer threatens or harms you, they view all incidents with customers soley your fault. You will work more than the expected hours that you get paid for and call outs become your shift yet no comp time is ever given for these overages. As a mgr it is hard to work a shorter shift to accomodate Dr appts or school appts, they expect min 10 hr shift each day with limited flexability for needed appts. No PTO all your vacation time or sick time must be used in full day increments so if you work a partial day and get sick your SOL and forced to use a sick day even tho you may have worked near a full shift. Vacation must be taken Mon-Sun because it is easier for Aldi's ancient HR systems.
