Pros

The starting pay is great for a retail job. They do a good job recruiting because most of my coworkers were motivated. There is a lot to do, so I was never bored.

Cons

The scheduling isn't consistent. I had to work really early hours and really late nights on some days. It is difficult to receive time off even if you request it.

Pros

My time at Aldis was as good as it gets for working in a grocery store. I worked as a cashier and my starting pay was $11 an hour. After working there for about 5 months, the district manager called me just to tell me that I got a $.25 raise. Mind you, I didn't do anything special to earn this. I was actually one of the slowest cashiers they had. But Aldis has a culture that supports and appreciates their employees. It just seems to be part of their business plan as a whole. If I had kept working there I know that they would have kept giving me raises and my retirement 401k (which they matched but I don't remember how much) would have kept growing. As an employee you are expected to hustle! You will build those muscles during your employment here but Aldis knows that and treats you with respect and appreciation. If you wanted to advance, manager positions are always available for $15 an hour starting and do not require a degree. The district managers I knew were very professional and nice. Aldis likes to retain their employees so if you wanted to move up even further, a district manager position requires a four year degree, not necessarily in business or management, just a degree if you are the right fit. I think they get paid $25/ hour and up.

Cons

None if you don't mind working in a grocery store.

Pros

The only pro for this company was the pay. Way more than anywhere else will pay for a grocery store manager

Cons

Unrealistic expectations. U have to do the work of 4 people. That's how they make so much $. Can't take time off when you want. High turn over. Constantly under staffed. Discrimination. Only hire females for very physically demanding job. No room for advancement as store manager. They hire district managers straight out of college with zero retail experience yet they act like they know everything. They don't care where u live they out you wherever is good for them. No work life balance. It is a 50 hour salary position but you'll end up working 60-70 if u want to keep this horrible job.
