Pros

Competitive salary International company with exposure to large-scale processes

Cons

At ALDI SÜD in Salzburg, the workload is high and often made harder by inefficient, redundant processes and poor communication between teams. Outsourcing is a constant topic, which adds uncertainty and pressure. Employee wellbeing is not a real priority, and burnout is common.

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!!
