Pros

Good salary after 3 years

Cons

No work-life balance, 52+ hrs plus, zero recognition, much abuse, hard to develop and 'prove your worth' with constantly changing direct leaders. No chance to move stores/reduce hours/time back etc. Always on call, no peace on days off. Incompetent senior leaders, no tolerance for unions, no fair treatment unless face fits

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!!
