Pros

- Good pay - Close knitted team - Work life balance - Always something to do

Cons

- Fast paced - Physically demanding - Great career progression, however any career conversations about joining warehouse would be blocked by area manager without any communication - New area management and store manager are incompetent in leading a team. Focusing more on numbers than the team morality and work life. Constantly supervising every action you do and making everyone feel like a criminal and undervalued. Pays not even worth being around a work environment like this. - Spoken rudely too and expecting you to come to work even though you are sick.

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!!
