Pros

Fast paced environment, you will never get bored. Good pay. Good advancement opportunities from a cashier to a shift manager. Good work ethics. You will preform various duties from cleaning the restrooms to making orders. You will be fully responsible for running the store when you manager or MT are not there. If you like to be challanged it is a place for you.

Cons

There is not much advancement opportunity locally. To be promoted to an MT you need to be willing to take any store, which means you need to have open availability. You need to be willing to relocate if necessary. Raises are very low, considering the performance and requirments. I do not think raises are based on individual preformance. It does not matter if you bust your butt of or just sit back you will get the same raise, which is unjust. In some cases there is a lack of employee appreciation from the management, which creates an unhealthy environment and low work ethics(depending on a store manager).

Pros

Great coworkers, nice work flow.

Cons

You have to do a lot in an opening shift. You have x hours to stock all the pallets before open, sometimes there are a lot so you have to move quickly.

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
