Cons

There is NO HR dept. Yes, you read that right. They have terrible management and put people who know NOTHING about your job over you. Working for the competition is much better. Once you're on the "black list" your life will be made miserable causing you to become sick. Don't come to work here. They also haven't given raises in over 3 years. Yet the CEO's and upper management swim in BIG TIME benefits for themselves AND their families. Lidl is the new way to go! Their stores are like Whole Foods except low prices. Aldi cannot compete because they would rather use the $ for unnecessary "meetings", use inferior software, hardware and practice old world Germany tactics that date back to WWII.

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!!
