ALDI Reviews

Former Employee – worked at ALDI full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Pay & Benefits are second to none

Cons – Everyone is expected to do everything, from stocking to cashiering... wouldn't be bad, but this is a high paced environment. Upper level management does not communicate effectively with employees. Management does not usually promote District Managers from within. They prefer to hire anyone with a bachelor's degree - no experience necessary. This makes it hard because they don't know ANYTHING about procedure and often come in and try to change EVERYTHING!

Advice to Senior Management – PLEASE let the left hand know what the right hand is doing. It will save aggravation and frustration. Allow more internal hiring for District Managers.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at ALDI part-time

Pros – Aldi is a great career for any hardworking person.

Cons – Just wish for more advance outside of store manager

Current Employee – been working at ALDI full-time for less than a year

Pros – Fast paced, massive career opportunities, great pay and holidays. I've been working for Aldi for 12 months and I have been made a deputy manager after expressing my interest in becoming a manager. I am now hoping to get an assistant manager position in the next 12 months. The money is fantastic and so is the job. Honestly haven't got a bad word to say about the company.

Cons – I haven't got a single 'con' to write, the company is the best I've worked for.

Advice to Senior Management – There isn't a word of advice I could give to upper management. They are as committed and the store management and staff

Current Employee – been working at ALDI full-time

Pros – -Good health benefits.
-Many holidays off such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter (not paid, but closed), Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day
-3 sick days every year
-3 personal days every year
-Vacation days increase with time employed

Cons – -Higher management (district managers and operations managers) treat lower management (store managers and RS managers) very poorly.
-Unrealistic expectations.

Advice to Senior Management – -Treat employees better, especially store managers.
-Start a profit sharing incentive to run stores better. Better bonuses (available to all store employees at some percentage, varying based on positions) make better managers.
-Either pay overtime to salaried management (who are expected to do as much physical labor as all other employees) or reduce the amount of physical labor for salaried management.
-Be more flexible in policies regarding work/life balance and management schedule.
