Pros

SOME of the people & high per hour wages.

Cons

Where to begin.... Interview: 1 - Your promised full time hours by HR and your personnel leader, despite being offered a part time contract, then are told AFTER you sign your contract that the ASLs don't work full time. BE CAREFUL. 2 - Have to go in to their offices for signing paperwork and other things. Before you start: 1 - Not even told your roster until 1 or 2 days BEFORE you contract starts. 2 - Dont get any communication from your direct manager. Starting: 1 - There is no sense of training at all. You do stupid and pointless online modules which sometimes dont apply to your role. 2 - You get paired up with someone who show you a different way of doing things, compare to someone else. Hours: 1 - Saving hours is the aim of the game here. Contradicts the full time hours promise they pedal to you. 2 - Full time contracts & hours worked are ONLY given to head section leaders, and logistics managers. 3 - Shift lengths are up and down. One day you can do a 5 hour shift, the other day you could do a 10+ hour day. People: 1 - Thanks to previous leaders, the workers are burned out and resentful. 2 - Your staff will find ANYTHING to complain about. 3 - Getting told off by your bosses for not knowing how to do something or asking for help.

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!!
