Pros

Fast paced, never a dull moment, repeat customers, runs like clockwork

Cons

managers constantly complain about how much they have to do and district managers are hired right from college job fairs so turnover is frequent...don't get pregnant or hurt, you will not be taken back and HR lies to FMLA about your average hours to keep you from getting benefits. Work comp insurance is privately owned by Aldi so they stop benefits and delay treatment if you upset the claim reps.

Pros

Great pay Hours were always there The manager at my location is a rare gem. Never had a boss quite like him. Everyone I worked with became like my family.

Cons

EXTREMELY physically demanding. I injured myself multiple times while I worked 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!!
