ALDI Plans to Hire More than 20,000 Employees, Increase Wages Ahead of Holiday Season

ALDI is hiring more than 20,000 new store and warehouse employees to support its continued growth across the country and prepare for the busy holiday season. Available positions include store associate, cashier, stocker and warehouse associate at the grocery retailer’s more than 2,100 stores and 25 warehouses across the country. ALDI will host a National Hiring Week from Sept. 20-24, during which stores and warehouses will have interview events to fill available positions.

Known for its competitive pay, ALDI now offers even higher wages, having recently increased pay for store and warehouse employees. The new average national starting wages for open store and warehouse positions will be $15 and $19 per hour, respectively, based on market and position. ALDI employees are also eligible for a range of benefits, including health care and retirement plans, financial wellness and employee assistance programs and generous paid time off.

“As an award-winning employer, we know the importance of investing in our people,” said Dave Rinaldo, co-president, ALDI U.S. “Employees come to ALDI for the competitive pay and opportunity to work for a growing national brand. They stay for the career potential and satisfaction they feel knowing their work makes a difference in the communities they serve.”

Team members take pride in working at ALDI, which is why the company has been named a National Top Workplace by Energage from 2017-2021 and has been honored by Forbes as one of America’s Best Large Employers six times since 2015. ALDI also recently received a 2021 “Great Place to Work” certification, which is based on an employee survey about company culture and confirms the company’s commitment to a positive employee experience.
