Pros

Good pay, but for a very good reason. Job sercurity unless you are missing money. Work days go very fast, usually not enough time or people to get done what needs to get done in a shift.

Cons

Work your ass off. They don't promote within unless you kiss some ass! Horrible, unrealistic expectations. No appericiation. No thank yous. Upper Management is the worst. District Managers only have to run a store for 6 weeks before getting promoted but somehow think they can tell you how to run a store, they don't have a clue!

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!!
