Pros

Benefits, if you don't need them they will give you some money as well. Pay Bonus Program/ Holidays Off

Cons

Work with little or no help, DM's think you can do your job and the lists that they give you. Dm's for the most part are clueless. Customers are rude/ignorant. Time off is hard to come by.

Pros

Aldi is a great place to work if you are a hard worker. If you are lazy or a slacker, this is not the place for you. Pay is great!

Cons

Even though the pay is great, aldi is very demanding on your body physically and your time. Also the customers can get annoying.

Pros

Good pay, and good benefits for managers.

Cons

The good pay is not enough if you have any self respect though, I worked in retail and restaurant management before coming to ALDI, and even though my job was a "assistant manager" training to be a store manager, there really wasn't any managing going on just running shifts. The store managers would never make it in a real retail management job, they are usually not educated or trained well. The district managers are straight out of college and are clueless when it comes to managing others and have very little experience if any. The owners are from Europe and run it like old Europe. If you were hired as an hourly, the highest you can ever be promoted is a store manager or a manager at the distribution center, you can never be promoted to a district manager or higher. You will max out in salary and promotion, i.e., dead end job!
