Pros

Good benefits 401k decent pay. You get a week of vacation after the first 6 months. Everyone starts at the same pay.

Cons

Hard work, sometimes you need to be there at 5 am. There's almost no advancement in the job. You can only go as high as a store manager. It doesn't matter how many shift manager's are ready for the next level, they will always hire someone outside the company for MT. If you want to move up they tell you if you can't do the job 100% they will let you go after a year. The district manager's are always moving or getting let go. Unfortunately they are the ones you need on your side to move up. The store manager has no power to hire of fire.

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!!
