Pros

-Good pay -Free Coffee -Day flies -Some really good leaders and managers where i worked

Cons

-Not enough staff -Not enough time to do everything perfectly. Yet they expect perfection. -Everyone is stressed. Most employees need to be extreme people pleasers to keep their job -Unsociable -CONSTANT pressure from management -Rushed all the time -Bullying from coworkers tolerated and even encouraged by store manager! -Not worth the money if injuries are so frequent -You are disposable. It doesn't matter if you have a family to feed at home, if you aren't quick enough you're fired

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!!
