Pros

Aldi does offer higher pay and better benefits than others in the market. It also saves you money on getting a gym membership.

Cons

Lack of opportunities for advancement. Once you are on one path then that's where you are staying. After running a store for a month have learned that district managers don't care about their managers. I was told that you just have to tell your family goodbye for a few weeks in order to get the job done. Not as family orientated as they once where and claim to be.

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!!
