Pros

Higher pay than most other jobs in this ondustry

Cons

Be prepared to work your butt off. I'm in shape, but this is like an 8 hour work out. So be prepared to lose about 15 lbs within a month. No one told me that when hired. Management isn't friendly enough. Morale seems to be crappy. Customers are treated poorly, even by management. The timing every move you make, uh, not for me, and I'm a hard worker. And every time you go faster and make goal, they just raise the goal higher. I really cannot believe how they are completely not customer concerned in any way - they do not train you to care about customer service. They just want you to get as much physical work done as possible and as quickly as possible - that's it. Do not expect anything more from this. Also, they tell you when you start that you get 15 minute breaks when working 8 hours - but you dont. And when you ask about it, be prepared to get different stories and then be given attitude for even bringing it up. No balance at work - one day you close and the next you're there at 6AM. They don't supply their employees with BOX CUTTERS - you have to buy your own, hilarious. You really aren't getting paid anymore, because they have no cleaning service - just you. And no one in warehouse with equipment - just you. So they can cut their costs that way.

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!!
