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.

Pros

They pay pretty well, and are reasonably flexible when you need them to be, as long as the work gets done. The benefits are decent. Overtime is often available if you are willing to stay late or work on Sunday.

Cons

It is very demanding, physical work. The warehouse can be cold in winter and hot in summer. Sometimes, the hours can be long, but the work has to get done, so people have to stay. There is not a lot of opportunity for promotion within the company. Since it is very physical, it is not a job you can do forever.
