ALDI reviews

IF you are hired as a experienced DM is 25 years old or so. Then, you see how lazy people who start are, and just because a 22 yr old isn’t married or has kids they can work 90 hours a week. This job is good for rookies who want to get paid right out of college. Terrible for anyone with experience. Essentially you are the store manager for 5 stores. Read the review by the person from South Windsor. It is spot on. I worked 5 years and moved all over, improved financials and never had to have anyone worry about me. I never had any development past my 3rd year and did really well. But, all Aldi cares about is looking at the guest log and seeing what time you worked. It’s crazy. You are a worker bee, don’t expect a thank you. Don’t expect anything more than “what have you done for me today?” Also, you’re better off firing people than giving them the opportunity to improve.

It all seems to good to be true, a company that is willingto pay 80k right out of college for an executive position and has great benefits. Well guess what, it is. I still have nightmares about working here. The reason they go after college students and lure them in with such high pay is because they knowthat noone in their right mind who actually has executive experience would put up with the kind of treatment they subject you to. To summarize: Management is cruel and cold, and they will try to teach you to be that way as well. They run too high of productivities, making it physically impossible to do the job correctly. Its only a matter of time before you slip up on something, becasue there are only so many hours in the day. You don't have a sense of job security, you are never "off" as you will get calls all day, night and on the weekends. I worked 70+ hours a week, my peers and I where always worried about losing our jobs over circumstances that were out of our control, and overall the job is just miserable. In the 2 years I worked with Aldi, I saw 7 hardworking District Managers be fired, and over 10+ resign. Take my advice; don't work here. Don't give your 20's to this company. There is little upward movement anyway; find an entry level job you love with good upward movement and you'll most likely make just as much within 3-4 years, plus, you wont be miserable.
