Pros

One of the best starting hourly rates (11.70hrly). Minimum 25 hours weekly to be considered as full-time employee with benefits (comprehensive health, dental, eye insurance, matching 401k, easy to get time off). Limited supervision by managers.

Cons

Lazy coworkers. Limited resources. Little employee development. Low moral. Not the best clientele. Poor/ low income/ indigent, nasty, cheap and rude customers. Busy busy busy non stop on your feet working 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!!
