Pros

Comparatively high starting wage, usually around $10 an hour.

Cons

The reason your groceries are so cheap at these stores is not because of the quality of the food, which is comparable to most other grocery stores. It's because where a normal grocery store runs with maybe 20 or so employees per shift, ALDI runs with 3 or so. So be ready to do the work of 5 people for your $10. If you're up to the challenge, its not the worst place to work.

Pros

Great pay Hours were always there The manager at my location is a rare gem. Never had a boss quite like him. Everyone I worked with became like my family.

Cons

EXTREMELY physically demanding. I injured myself multiple times while I worked there.

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!!
