Pros

Paid cash if commuting more than 30 minutes from your home store.

Cons

No advancement, store managers cannot become district managers. District managers take care of the P & L. Plan on unloading pallets in 30 minutes stocked on the shelves, cleaning nasty toilets, dirty break rooms, windows Vista, lots of broken equipment, no stockers, no maintenance, not a college degree position. You get one week vacation after working for 9 months. No transparency health benefits after 90 days. Their excuse for everything is that's how we keep our costs down. Straight lied to me in my interviews. Turnover rate is 120% I didn't get Bachelors degree for that mess.

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
