Advice to Management

Look at your tenured managers for upward growth opportunity

Pros

Great people, great training and ability to progress

Cons

24/7 and work life balance suffers

Pros

Friendly people for sure! I love shopping at Aldi, its my favorite store so it's great to work for a company whose product you who heartedly love! The medical/vision/dental benefits are good and affordable, speaking for a single person. They have nice offices, Aldi snacks always available which are great, and they are coming into the 21st century for their corporate environment. Their pay/salary is good and rather competitive, hard to find jobs that would pay as good, including a raise at your yearly anniversary for the first 3 years.

Cons

I expected more forward thinking and outstanding benefits from a company that is a large international company (however per my pros they are good).They are a little stuck in the old ways of corporate life, especially compared to others of its caliber. Without covid, remote working would have NEVER been a thing. Only recently did they allow jeans and headphones. Some teams have more flexibility and and opportunity for growth and promotions, but I unfortunately was on one It's a small thing, but we can't buy Aldi swag, I have more swag from family and friends companies than my own.

Advice to Management

Transparency is VERY appreciate by your employees. Adults understand things can change, but transparency goes a LONG way. Tell us an idea, show us the beginning of a plan, if it changes we won't be as mad as if you didn't tell us anything at all. Relax a little, has an uptight feeling sometimes.

Pros

Very flexible with school, excellent benefits, understanding management, and very outstanding training.

Cons

There is a heavy workload, but it is doable.
