Pros

Great health & dental benefits.

Cons

Work you like a dog. The expectations from the DM & above are not feasible when stores are only allotted enough labor for 3 people at a time on shift. Not to mention, it is unsafe. Higher-ups will demand you control loss & theft, but will not provide the necessary hours to be able to prevent occurences from happening.

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!!
