Pros

Benefits are pretty good. Coworkers are generally great.

Cons

Management is hit or miss; it completely varies from store to store. Upper management is completely out of touch and would rather prioritized menial cleaning tasks instead of having product on the shelves, while simultaneously cutting labor. You can only trim so much fat before you start cutting into muscle. There is no consistency with scheduling, making work/life balance impossible. Customers are generally pretty nice, but not enough to make up for the bad ones.

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!!
