Pros

Good pay (but you'll work very hard for every penny,) PTO, benefits, comfortable uniforms; work day goes by in a flash.

Cons

Scheduled only one week out,; end of shift time is rarely the time you actually get to leave; often asked to come in on days off, sometimes to work a 12 HR shift; no work-life balance; constantly under the threat of being fired if you don't meet manager's expectations; unhealthy expectations of speed to accomplish tasks leading to injury and exhaustion.

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!!
