Pros

Role is very flexible, if you want to gain more experience and move up in the ranks all you need to do is ask, but if you don't you won't be pushed to take on more than is required of you. You get the benefits of the cohesiveness and standards of a large corporation as well as the benefits of a small business because of the small store size and open/close times.

Cons

There are a lot more 'gift' benefits working for other retail companies, here there's no store discount, the only employee benefits that stand out to me are hotel, car rental and BUPA discounts. This isn't too bad though, as if you're used to more benefits you forget about them pretty quick. This might be attributed to my store specifically, but there is just no time to completely tidy the store and warehouse every day. This means that there's dust and crap in the corners of shelves and floors that can't be reached with a quick sweep, and detailed cleaning is only done on certain things that are listed on the intermittent cleaning schedule.

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!!
