Discount grocer Aldi is boosting its staff for the holiday season with plans to hire more than 13,000 store and warehouse workers.
Along with boosting its workforce, the grocer announced that it will continue adding new stores across the U.S. while it simultaneously prepares for the busy shopping period.
To entice applicants, the company also announced that it's raising the national average hourly pay too.
The average starting wages for Aldi store and warehouse positions nationwide will jump to $18 and $23 per hour, respectively, based on market and position, according to the company.
The company also touted that the company "outranks competitors" in career opportunities, noting that 70% of assistant store managers and more than 30% of store managers started as store associates.
Workers with more than 30 hours a week have access to health insurance, paid time off as well as flexible scheduling and 100% paid parental and caregiver leave, Aldi said.
Any qualified applicants will be invited to interview during National Hiring Week, which ends on Sept. 15.
