Pros

The company is extremely stable and expands at a healthy rate. There is a lot they do right and they are always looking to please their customer.

Cons

There is a ceiling that you will never get past unless you started out as a District Manager right out of college. As an assistant, hard work was never rewarded. Few raises, even cost of living, were given. You lived in pretty consistent fear that you were going to make the wrong person angry (warranted or not) and lose your job. Overall unhealthy environment.

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!!
