Pros

-pay ( but after all is said and done its not worth it)

Cons

- Disrespect from every level of management, I was in management and I couldn't treat people the way they wanted me to - unrealistic goals and expectations that going above and beyond means you still wont hit your goals, this causes a very negative atmosphere -young district managers, some can be okay but some are naive and believe everything the company tells them regardless of how ridiculous -even people in the highest positions will disrespect you and treat you like trash if you aren't living and breathing ALDI all the time -the hours are long, if you get your store the way you want it, you can just work your 50 but upper management will pressure you to always be there -overall great pay but you will burnout trying to prove yourself to the selfish, disrespectful and just rude upper management

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!!
