Pros

Good pay and benefits, quality products, can learn a lot. Aldi is a very successful and growing business.

Cons

Expectations can be unreasonable. Very demanding physically because of the pace expected. High turnover due to burnout, which is why they have a well-earned reputation for not hiring older workers. Not an environment for those with a creative management style; all that counts is how efficiently your store performs very standardized operating procedures.

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!!
