Pros

The pay is great, and the benefits are very good.

Cons

Very though physical days, long hours and always feel behind. Over the years the workload has increased without the proper adjustment of labor allowed to get the job done. The company is crawling out of its niche trying to compete with the upper level grocery stores of larger size. They have lost the philosophy of the brothers who started the company. Their sales are doing very well but the company has high turnover and will continue to do so unless it starts to value tenured employees who have been doing a good job and give the labor needed to meet their new standards.

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!!
