Pros
The company originates from a great value system and has a decent training program (that's if you have the hours to properly train). Easy to move up within the company, great discounts, fun trends, can be face paced and fun. You also meet great people within the company. Visuals. Overall gained skills are beneficial for the future. You learn how to deal with different kinds of people and situations.
Cons
At first Aldo is fun and exciting, but instead of being recognized for hard work and accomplishments; you only hear about your failures. You're given unrealistic expectations from higher management. DM/RMs tend to always think it's possible to have visuals/ marketing 110% perfect, have better sales than last year, train, shipment, orders, sequence changes, etc etc ALL on zero hours or single coverage. When expectations are not fully met, you're verbally talked down to as if you're either incapable or lazy. There is a difference between being a moron and not being able to fully complete the job of 3 others within x amount of hours. Humans are not robotic slaves. Pay within the company is beyond awful. Can't hire quality people because of pay/hours. Expected to train a quality team on zero hours. Bonuses are unheard of due to high goals with less traffic. Expected to have great inventory, but take it out of your own payroll if granted. Quality of life outside of Aldo is not respected. Earned vacation isn't respected and at times have to go through obstacles to have a single day off.
