Pros

Starting pay was 13 hr (2018) Get promoted to store manager quick if you're a shadow and give your life to the company.

Cons

Managers are robots (no emotion) Have to do 5-7 loads by yourself in an hour and half time limit and constantly nagged not quick enough. No benefits for part time Have a mind of your own is frowned upon. No set schedule so if you're a single part good luck. Can't leave store for lunch (I did anyways) If not reaching 1,000 ringing score then told you're not good enough but when you're better than the full timers get nagged on why won't consider being fulltime. Multitask 30 things and still be cashier Place to fail never encouraging. No college opportunities because they don't want you to leave they own you.

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!!
