ALDI reviews

I worked for Aldi for five years as a District Manager. The leadership was tough on our team, but taught us so much about how to get results and be the kind of leader that motivates their team for results. The training program is unmatched and offers in depth training workshops on understanding and impacting financials, personnel development, interviewing, and time management and planning. I started with Aldi right out of college and I certainly worked hard, but leadership encouraged me to work smarter not harder and showed us that when you put in the work and train your team, you're able to better manage your work/life balance. None of my fellow recent grads had anywhere close to the level of responsibility or reward in their new roles. It was extremely rewarding because they give you a lot of autonomy in decision making at a young age and you're able to learn from your mistakes. I can't thank Aldi enough for the time I spent there. It really shaped who I am as a professional today and what I expect from any organization moving forward.

ALDI's business model is skyrocketing throughout the US. Rapid remodeling and new store openings. It's sad to see so many store managers and DM's complain about work life balance on here when that is totally indicative of poor time management on their part. I'm consistently in high regard with my management and I'm home by 5 everyday if I want to be. The job is tough, but the amount of autonomy and responsibility you have along with pay, growth, and benefits really makes it an awesome place to work. It takes emotional toughness.
