Pros

• Hourly rate above minimum wage • Great team atmosphere

Cons

• Unsociable hours • All the Store Assistant in my shop were on 25 hour/week contract and it was sometimes very difficult to get more hours (unless you were willing to go to the store at 7am on your day off because someone texted the manager at 6 to call sick) • You will be timed at the till and on the shop floor. Nobody cares if you are having a bad day, you will be marked down!

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!!
