Pros

Excellent pay. You can build a strong resume while they use you up.

Cons

Aldi cares absolutely nothing about anyone or anything except their bottom line. They create fear. They create unrealistic goals, that you have to cut corners to acheive. If you don't meet the goals they can fire you. They know about the corners they force you to cut, however, if they want to get rid of you they use them against you.

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!!
