Pros

Great pay, good benefits, opportunities for advancement.

Cons

Employees are overworked for the pay that they get, the scheduling is inconsistent (managers will change your schedule without consulting you and expect you to show up, even if you were unaware of the changes), a lot of times there are not enough people scheduled to close or open the store, late nights, everything you do is timed and you are expected to speed through all your tasks.

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!!
