Pros

Pay is great, if you’re actually allowed to only work the 50 hours you’re paid to. Benefits are great and you’re going to need them because your body will be wrecked.

Cons

ZERO work/life balance, especially for leaders (not DM’s). DM’s can take time off and be unbothered and usually have a second work phone that they’ll just turn off, even if you need them. Constantly expected to do extra work on your own time with no additional compensation. Back breaking work, at an unreasonable pace. There’s being efficient, and then there’s what ALDI wants. ALDI expects you to be able to do pretty much an entire 15-25 pallet truck yourself, be on register as backup, do curbside and then your DM tells you it’s not enough and you’re a disappointment. Can your DM do those things? No. That’s not their job. Core values: consistency, simplicity, and responsibility. Yet ALDI stands for not a single one of these values.

Pros

Fair benefits. Hard working employees.

Cons

Physically and emotionally taxing. Overworked and underpaid. Presents team as “family” but work culture is actually catty and exhibits extreme favoritism.

Pros

The people there are great overall. They equip you to succeed and have taken Covid seriously.

Cons

The company loyalty in my department is very low. It is not like that for every department at ALDI. But, typically favorites are picked for promotions and it can be frustrating at times.
