Pros

Great benefits, used to have free health coverage, but they upped it to $10/month for individual. However, if you get injured on the job, which almost always happens, you have to see workers comp doctors, and the level of care is substandard.

Cons

It takes a special kind of person. A person who either stands or enjoys brutal amounts of physical pain, who can tolerate a severely high turnover rate, and relies heavily on caffeine to meet speed quotas.

Pros

Great pay Hours were always there The manager at my location is a rare gem. Never had a boss quite like him. Everyone I worked with became like my family.

Cons

EXTREMELY physically demanding. I injured myself multiple times while I worked there.

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!!
