Pros

Great pay that's it! This is a twenty word minimum so I am trying to fulfill the requirement so this will post.

Cons

District Managers are "kids" right out of college with no sense of "family". No help, constant turn over because they want you to run a store with no payroll. You can never be promoted higher then a store manager. Expected to come in on your off days weekly. 60 plus hours a week. You don't even get to hire your own staff or terminate anyone. It's all done by the DM's. Trucks are always wrong with wrong product. Inventories constantly with no one in the store that can do them besides the store manager. My advice run run run!!!! Do not work for this company!

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!!
