Pros

ALDI's business model is skyrocketing throughout the US. Rapid remodeling and new store openings. It's sad to see so many store managers and DM's complain about work life balance on here when that is totally indicative of poor time management on their part. I'm consistently in high regard with my management and I'm home by 5 everyday if I want to be. The job is tough, but the amount of autonomy and responsibility you have along with pay, growth, and benefits really makes it an awesome place to work. It takes emotional toughness.

Cons

People with cons for the company are those who are being intensely supervised because of poor performance, which makes perfect sense. Underperformers are over supervised. What's wrong with that?

Pros

At Aldi you work with a team of people that are the best of the best, so no more picking up other peoples slack. The company takes excellent care of its people when it comes to pay, benefits, and treating you well. Aldi is a very solid company as well and will be around for a long time. Aldi has a very flat structure which means promotions increase pay by large amounts, information travels fast, and each person matters more to the team. The best part of Aldi is the people, once you are past the training stage you look around and realize that every person in the company is not only hard working and caring, but also in general just great people to spend your time with. At Aldi, challenging tasks are taken on by teams like a game because they all have fun doing it and a sense of group pride when it is over.

Cons

Aldi only has cons if you are not the right type of person to work there. Like I said, Aldi is the best of the best, so that means that you have work very hard to get up to par. Aldi gives you excellent training to get there, but prepare yourself to work harder than you ever have during your first year there. After your first year, you become much more efficient and are no longer working with the best, you are the best.
