Pros

Compensation is decent and the benefits are decent as well.

Cons

Too many managers in one location. Everyone wants to be in charge and it makes it difficult to delegate tasks. The environment is focused on sales and tasks, not customers or employee training. It is definitely not what I expected from this respected company of the past. Aldi has definitely changed in the past few 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!!
