Pros

Pay is good and benefits but they think they own you ! It's like a German concentration camp !

Cons

No work life balance Work 10 + hrs a shift Upper management Gives no positive feedback Was told I would be a store manager after 1yr that was a lie it could take up to 5 yrs to get your own store . High turn over rate for the MT position No advancement opportunities Unrealistic Goals / labor Large workload everyday Wouldn't recommend this job to anyone If you work for Aldi then Aldi is your life ! No raises

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!!
