I worked at Aldi training to be a store manager for about 6 months. I can say this, Aldi is as good as the people that work there. If they're lazy you'll see poor produce products. But if the employees are on top of it it's a great place to shop. Many of the "Aldi brand" products are very good. They work on minimal staff and keep VERY little inventory to try and keep things fresh. We used to get 5 trucks a week and kept nearly nothing in back stock. They paid very well. I was getting 23 an hour as a store manager trainee. A better opportunity came along so I left them but like I said, depending on the staff and their work ethic decides on how the shopping experience will be.
