Pros

Great composition and benefits, no need for a gym membership because you are constantly weight lifting and doing plenty of cardio

Cons

There is no balance between work and personal life. Several times I have had to personally work a 13 hour shift closing to turn around and open for another 13 hour shift. There are not enough employees. The work hours are all over the place, and always on call because of hurt co-workers.

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!!
