Pros

Good pay, versatility in role, great team environment

Cons

Changing times where the autonomy has been stripped from the role, not allowed to make any decisions yourself but are yet held accountable for the decisions and changed implemented by superiors that you had to carry out knowing they would be unsuccessful. Very disappointing change for Aldi as a business. It use to be a very enjoyable job.

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!!
