Pros

Good hours, nice teams, support and training throughout

Cons

Can often be demanding and there's a sort of 'toxic positivity' in regards to work ethic...very difficult to have an 'off' day because management pick up on it straight away and take it personally if you aren't up to speed or smiling from ear to ear. Absence policy isn't best.

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!!
