Pros

Pay and health/dental/ vision benefits

Cons

Management was never on the same page. Someone would not order items and take it out on employees. Managers (one in question at my store) wouldn't work during their shift and instead would constantly sit in the office for hours talking on their personal cell phone. This is hard especially when you are the only other employee in the store working, usually meaning we get out of the store extremely late. Always was called on my day off to work and if I couldn't work that day due to appointments I had scheduled around days I worked I would be called into the office and told I wasn't a "team player" because I couldn't come in that day due to a doctors appointment I had requested off weeks earlier. Pay was GREAT but working with people at that store have been the worst co-workers I've ever worked with. I had put in requests to transfer to stores closer to my home and they would always be ignored. New DM's come into the store during training and pretty much look at you like you are not intelligent.

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!!
