Pros

Cons Definitely Outweigh Any Pros

Cons

Ineffective Leaders, Bottom of the Barrel Workforce, Dirty Work Areas and Mass Exodus of Talented Employees Don't Waste Your Time Working or Shopping at Aldi. They do not care about their employees, the communities they operate in or their customers. I was present at the warehouse when a mid-aged, long-term cleaner there had a heart attack & died in the cooler area of the warehouse a few months ago. A go-fund-me page was set up for the family & the only contributors were hard working selectors. Greedy Aldi Warehouse Management did not give a dime. And selectors had to keep up the pace, while this man died. What does that say about this company & its management? You can save a few pennies here, but there is such a thing as a corporation that is too big & has a monopoly of the market. Americans should shop at American run companies & keep their dollars in the USA. Not in early 20th century atmosphere Germany. Shame on the long-time management here for how they treat people. Karma will intervene eventually.

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!!
