Pros

Great work-life balance, annual leaves, and nature in Austria. Colleagues are majority in their 20s-30s making it a fun environment.

Cons

If you are lucky, you have a great manager but there are many cases where young inexperienced managers create toxic teams or dont have the capabilities to manage their teams. Management and decision-making is very slow and surprisingly hierarchical. Salaries are decent in the region however are still not comparable with major cities. Living cost in Austria can be pretty high.

Pros

Great coworkers, nice work flow.

Cons

You have to do a lot in an opening shift. You have x hours to stock all the pallets before open, sometimes there are a lot so you have to move quickly.

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!!
