Pros

Simple Work, Usually the same tasks every work day. Variation comes from inconsistencies in grocery stock shipments, or store promotions.

Cons

The positions in Aldi are often intentionally understaffed, apparently as a sort of grasp at efficiency, so expect to have a lot of store-wide tasks piled up for you and 3 -4 other employees.

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!!
