Pros

Good pay right out of college. OK benefits. Good opportunity for those who are willing to sacrifice their personal life.

Cons

One of the benefits is vacation time, but you never have a chance to take it, and if you do they make you feel bad and guilty. It is a private company so do as the owner wants you to do or you are out. No openness for opinions. Work as a robot with no feedback.

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!!
