Pros

Fast paced, start rate is much higher than min wage, there is some opportunity for growth

Cons

Unrealistic expectations, physically is quite hard on the body (all day throwing cases of heavy items takes a toll), face to face w/ ppl (retail… yuck), and DM’s tend to change WAY more often than is good (at least in my location we had 4 different ones w/in a year), schedule was awful (you could be there til midnight then have to open at 6a the next day)

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!!
