Pros

The job pays very well and you get a company car.

Cons

The training process is basically a weed out process. You will work about 60 hours a week doing physical labor for the first 6 months. The hours will be mornings as early as 5 am and nights as late as 2 am. Expect to work every weekend and you probably won't be able to use any of your vacation time during training. All the training is done very hastily and unorganized and there is no evidence they want you to succeed. They will put you wherever they need you and do not care what city you want t work in.

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!!
