Pros

Pay and lots of existences right out of college. That is it. Stay to get the experience then get out like all the other DMs are.

Cons

Directors call you in the middle of the night to take care of issues that are not necessary. The VP threatens all DMs job in meeting.The directors have you popcorn read in 6 hour meetings. You feel trapped with stunted growth after the first 18 months.

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!!
