Pros

Lots of responsibility right out of college. They give you a car and pay for 100% of your gas and pay you a lot for an entry level job.

Cons

They have a corporate culture of micro-managing employees. There is absolutely no work-life balance. You have to do what the company needs as far as being promoted from a DMT. You get assigned a promotion and don't have a say if that position interests you or not.

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!!
