Pros

Work keeps you busy, pay is good compared to industry standards.

Cons

We were told recently that nobody was receiving raises this year. Although pay is good, you probably won't get enough hours to make it a livable income. New employees are making just as much as those who have been there 5+ years. Aldi used to be very employee focused but has started to move away from that, and more towards acting like a big-box store.

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!!
