Pros

It started out as a good job with great benefits however these benefits turned sour rather fast.

Cons

lack of respects for employees, lack of training I was taken on as a assistant manager and told I would be trained in a store where all company standards were met. However into my training I was made aware of how physical this job was you are expected to pick up weight exceeding what you can physically carry the training was not adhered to as there was obvious racism and favoritism. no sense of customer satisfaction, poor work ethic. I would say Aldi is about twenty years behind other supermarkets almost as if you are working for a foreign country it is very strange and the management think they can talk to staff, customers and trainees like crap. no amount of money in the world would make me work like a dog Aldi is completely not what it makes out to be. Very unsociable hours compared to other supermarkets. In a ten hours shift on your feet all day long and your lucky if you get 15 minutes break. Worst job I ever had....

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!!
