Pros

Good pay, Great benefits, Period!

Cons

Speed Speed Speed is all they care about. Was never under so much stress in my entire working life. You'll be cleaning toilets too! Can't understand how this company gets away with their tactics. You can be on the register for 6 hrs and may or may not even get a break for the entire shift. Crazy place. if you feel there is no other place to make the same money.....go for it, but I found there are many other jobs for the same money where you won't lose your mind! It is just plain crazy there.

Pros

Great pay Hours were always there The manager at my location is a rare gem. Never had a boss quite like him. Everyone I worked with became like my family.

Cons

EXTREMELY physically demanding. I injured myself multiple times while I worked there.

Pros

+ industry leading wages Associates - $12/hr, Shift Mgr - $16/hr, SMT - $23/hr, Store Manager - $75,000+/yr + great work environment + excellent training + health, dental, vision, life insurance, 401k + 40-50 hr/wk with paid overtime Very fast paced so work hours fly by. I loved working at Aldi. The pay was great! Benefits great! Was training to be a store manager so a lot was expected of me but I was totally up for it. My store manager loved my work, associates loved my fairness, customers loved me.

Cons

+ work/life balance + walked 28,000 steps/day!!! Never thought I would be fired for clocking in only minutes late!!
