Pros

•great team •great customers •pay is good

Cons

• yeah the pay is good but you have to put blood sweat and tears for it. There’s no work life balance at all!!! I mean at all This job is extremely physical and exhausting As a ASM you have to work 1 or 2 10 hr shifts a week to cover the managers day off talk about work life balance AY! Even if you’re sick they still expect you to come in they don’t care about you they care about their metrics. I can go on and on. Just avoid at all cost!!!

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!!
