At this company you have to work very hard with very little respect from any shift managers or store manager. - Sales Associate/Cashier ALDI Employee Review

Pros

Pay is good, benefits are good.

Cons

You work incredibly hard with no respect as a cashier/store associate, and the shift managers and store manager hide behind you and tell you to "smash" customers groceries so you can scan super fast. Long hours, and you have to basically work all alone, I have worked for Aldi for over a year and I have hated every minute of it.

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

+ work/life balance + walked 28,000 steps/day!!! Never thought I would be fired for clocking in only minutes late!!
