Pros

Pay and benefits thats it

Cons

Absolutely zero work/life balance-they say they have it but it's a lie...upper mgmt wants puppets and yes-men running stores...asking questions about common practices will get u labeled as "negative"...since the last brother passed the people in charge are changing daily practices and making them highly inefficient...u can't trust anyone...and the worst thing they do is strictly hire district managers straight out of college with many of them never working prior to getting hired...they struggle with maturity and understanding what hard work is and the importance of family

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!!
