Pros

The pay was extremely competitive at the time, 12.50 part-time in 2019. Everyone raves about the chairs but they're not that great long-term (see cons).

Cons

At Aldi, you are treated like a robot by your employer. You have to go over your daily stats with a manager at the end of every shift and examine where you could be faster in the check-out process. It is extremely hard to reach a manager at peak times, so if a customer is irate, you don't have the support you need. It is considered a nuisance to call upon your coworkers to help with a growing line. The chairs are only an obstacle as you race to sling carts up against your till.

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!!
