Pros

Great pay with decent benefits

Cons

Bad personal. A lot of envy and jealousy in this job. Alot of favoritism they pride themselves on culture but the trainers they have have horrible culture and attitudes.At one point we were forced to finish our orders before going to lunch so sometimes we would go to lunch an hour after they tried giving you 45 mins so you wouldn't say nothing. The last week I was employed they changed course but I still filed a complaint with the labor board of California. Lastly they say they have an end time so you work hard all day and then they send you over to anoether department were they determine when your leaving because they give you more and more assignments

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!!
