Pros

Pay is good, coworkers are great. If you need extra hours they are good at communicating with other stores in the area that may need help. Time seems to fly when working - as you are always busy, always thinking about the next shift!

Cons

The pay is good for what you do; you may get paid twice as much as similar positions at other stores but you work three times as hard. Unfortunately there is not much movement available since the staff is so lean. They always want more and more for the same compensation. I wouldn't say the benefits such as insurance are great, they could certainly be better, I actually paid and kept my wife's insurance while working there.

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!!
