Pros

The pay is better than the average retail job… but only because they intentionally understaff and make one person do the work of 2-3 people.

Cons

Unrealistic expectations from corporate breeds a very toxic and unhealthy work environment. Rampant favoritism and bullying. Less than ideal working conditions. High turnover rate. The people who end up staying tend to be bullies.

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!!
