Pros

I'm only writing this because I need a 20 word minimum. The only pro I have is that I made a life long friend at Aldi that I still talk to everyday after I quit.

Cons

By far the worst job I ever had in my entire life. The hours were insane, the physical work was so intense I'm still going through the doctors and exams. The management was horrible and treated you like a slave and if you made a mistake they would treat you like you're stupid. I believe everybody I worked with became depressed, I can't tell you how many times we all cried to each other. I wouldn't recommend this job to my worst enemy

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!!
