Pros

Good place to shop AFTER work IF you have time

Cons

YOU CAN NOT BE PROMOTED TO AREA MANAGER EVEN IF YOU HAVE BEEN A STORE MANAGER FOR 10 YEARS AND ARE THE BEST IN THE COMPANY, ALDI ARE OPEN ABOUT THIS. You may read the salary is great but on a 48 hour contract for a manager (you will work 10 hours + OT easily) taking that into consideration the hourly wage eqiv is poor! The expectations are SERIOUSLY unrealistic and being performance managed by a 21yo that knows nothing about retail and has never had a job is a hard pill to have to swallow! I am a relatively respected manager and I do not under perform, however this company will want you heart and soul, prepared to be owned by them. Your life will be consumed.

Pros

Compensation, immediate role of responsibility

Cons

High-stress, bad hours, the industry isn't exciting. The management is very militaristic. The job didn't exercise my higher intellectual skills, instead the job amounted to juggling many details simultaneously. This job will become your life. If you enjoy counting product in a subfreezing environment and dealing with rude customers go for it. I'd rather use my bachelor's degree for a higher purpose.
