Pros

Other employees at my store were really nice and fun to work with

Cons

You are basically timed on everything and there’s always something for you to do. Cashiers do everything in the store unlike other grocery stores where they just get to wait on people to come to their line. Also, I was expecting holiday pay for Christmas and New Years because I got HP previously in the year but because they gave us a $2 holiday premium for a month I did not get the time and a half HP. Only found out when I got my paycheck.

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!!
