ALDI

What our Store employees mean to ALDI.

Our Store Staff is the face of the ALDI shopping experience, and our most valuable asset. Their hard work makes it possible to uphold our company philosophy. Their smiles and pleasant demeanors keep customers coming back time and time again.

What our Manager Trainees do.

As a Manager Trainee at ALDI, you’ll never experience the same day twice. In this role, you’ll receive the training needed to manage your own store.

You’ll learn about maximizing sales, controlling expenses and providing excellent customer service. You’ll also learn how to lead, coach and develop Store Associates. Manager Trainees are offered up to 52 weeks of training. It’s a rewarding career with constant challenges in a fast-paced environment.

What our Shift Managers do.

Shift Managers play a crucial role in keeping the store running and looking its best. They also must provide outstanding customer service. Shift Managers have the opportunity to manage the sales floor, as well as supervise and support store associates when the Store Manager isn’t scheduled. Like all ALDI positions, the Shift Manager role is hands-on and fast-paced. It’s a lot of responsibility, but it’s filled with possibilities for you and your career at ALDI.

What our Store Associates do.

You’ll be front and center working in many roles – everything from cashier to stocker – while providing outstanding customer service. You'll also assist Store Management by merchandising product, monitoring inventory, and keeping the store looking its best. It’s an opportunity to get more out of your career and grow in an exciting environment.
