Pros

Great company to work for! Coming from another well known grocery store chain, I can tell that by working here the company actually cares for the people who work for them. The benefits are great from 401k, insurance(health,dental,life), paid vacation and sick time, etc.. My manager personally is amazing, we are taught new things everyday in hopes to one day run our own stores.

Cons

Like i said working for the company is great but some days can be 12-15 hour work days just because of the amount of work that needs to be done and the lack of employees. So when we have different tasks that need to be done around the store with only 2 people working a 6 hour work day could quickly become a 12 hour work day. Sometimes it feels as if you are always in the store and never get a chance to be with your family. Even on off days you may sometimes be called in to help out around the store and you already usually only get one day off every week, well at my store(were under staffed). But to me the biggest con has to be the district managers. The DM i had when i first started was one of the greatest people i could have ever worked for but now they are hiring young adults straight out of college and they know nothing about the job. My DM now is at times very intimidating and comes off as not respectful to those under him. I feel like i have to tip toe around him and find myself trying to work around him as much as possible.

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!!
