Pros

ALDI offered decent pay, employees get to sit down while cashiering.

Cons

Personally I had a terrible experience working at ALDI. Several of my co-workers had very similar experiences with management being overbearing and unfair. Management would criticize us for using the bathroom on the clock, and time our bathroom breaks. Management expected unachievable numbers every day and often held threat of job loss over our heads. Employees were not allowed to express any individuality including visible tattoos, piercings, or colored hair. I could honestly go on forever about what a stressful and toxic work environment it was.

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!!
