Shift manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Definitely get paid more than most grocery stores.

Cons

Few people work each shift, which means you will end up working like a slave.

Hard work, lots of responsibility and autonomy, great people.

Deputy manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Get to experience all aspects of retail management and operations. Plenty of opportunities for training and advancement if you are willing to show your commitment and proactivity. Aldi expects you to take ownership of everything you do and gives you the freedom to do it your way, as long as you consistently deliver results.

Cons

Physically very hard work, most shifts you end up sweaty and filthy. Aldi demands high levels of efficiency and productivity, which can be stressful when unpredictable problems or demanding customers cause you to fall behind schedule.

VERY GOOD COMPANY WITH GOOD PAY AND BENEFITS

Store manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I was a store manager,and I was very impressed with their training and the system in place that Aldi developed to run their stores.You worked hard and you were always busy,but I liked that because I always felt very productive and the days went by fast.They paid very well (but you definitely earned it)and there were good benefits.Great employees and positive atmosphere.

Cons

Wish they would promote more from within the company.District Managers were hired & trained seperately,so you couldn't advance from the store manager position.I was promised something by word and a handshake by upper management....but when things didn't go the way that they wanted,they didn't give me the deal that was promised.Seem to care a little bit more about the bottom line/profit,than their employees.
