Pros

Wages, All major holidays off. That's it.

Cons

Where do I start. By no means I'm I writing a review to bash Aldi's. Aldi's could be a really good place to work for and more enjoyable. I quit a job that I had been at for 6 years because of the higher income. To this day I don't regret my decision because I fell like everything happens for a reason and because of the grace of God I'm in position I'm in now. Aldi's pays well but keeps staff low. That's causes a high level of stress and very unenjoyable work place. I was hired in as manager in trainee. From the beginning I had others that worked there who were jealous because they might have felt like they were more deserving. Many of times they would purposely not show me something or even let me struggle with something so that they run back to the store manager. It was a horrible experience as their expections were so unrealistic based on the staff that they had in each store. You will get injuried based on the amount of lifting and work that did to try to keep. It's just to much to keep going but working at Aldi's was the worst job that I have ever had!

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!!
