Pros

They pay is considered good, but it kind of has to be to get anyone to work.

Cons

The stress is horrible. They set unrealistic standards. Expectations for amount of work to do during a shift are unreachable because they don't give enough employees to work with. You never see your family because there are nights you work unt 10-11pm and than have to be back the next day by 6am. Upper management is never satisfied and rarely appreciative of the hard work their employees do.

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!!
