Pros

Health Insurance for employees who work more than 20 hours a week.

Cons

Understaffed, had 3-4 employees running an entire grocery store. Stocking, ringing, cleaning everything. Only 2 employees would close down the store at night. In total I think we had about 10 full time people running a store that brought in over $30,000 in sales on a weekend. Not to mention the complete lack of references after you leave (they only will confirm that you worked there during a time frame) and it's impossible to get corporate on the phone. They also lowered the started pay from $10.80 to $10 during the 2 years I worked there. Despite making more money those years.

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!!
