Pros

Better salary than other supermarkets. Keeps you fit. Good locations of stores. You can sometimes have the opportunity to work at other branches.

Cons

Early and late shifts starting as early as 5am and ending at midnight to 1am. Unsociable working hours. Employees are given too much work to be completed in their shift and expected to stay behind (unpaid) to finish the work. I got asked to clock out at 11pm but needed to stay to finish unloading palettes. Hours - I got told I would work full time but if sales are down they will send employees home to save paying them. Some weeks I would only be able to work 26 hours which is not full time. Some weeks I worked less hours than my contract but management would tell you that as long as you did it over the month it didn’t matter?

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!!
