Pros

Its definitely a hard working job and its long hours but it pays well.

Cons

Managers aren't really concerned with the individual employee. There was some favoritism with certain employees and that was unfair considering they were favoring unskilled new employees. No rotation with opening shifts and certain people would be stuck doing the freezer section in the morning for days and weeks straight sometimes which is really tiring.

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!!
