Pros

Excellent benefits, medical, dental and vision for only $10 a month (for employee). Decent pay for industry (but not enough for whats expected of you).

Cons

no work-life balance, Aldi operates the stores with no more than a few people working at a time in order to reduce costs but then expects you to be able to keep everything stocked and keep the shelves looking neat, leaving more work to do than can be done in time given so you end up working late. If they had enough people working the store would look better during the day instead of only looking clean after closing.

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!!
