Pros

the hours, and store manager is usually good about giving you days off that you ask.

Cons

I was lied to when i first got hired in about getting 40 hrs, and all the over time i could possibly ever want. they would rather hire off the street than promote within. or they reward thoes with bad attitudes a new promotion just bc of their skin color.... thought aldi was all about making their employees happy, if you sat down with all of my fellow co workers that would be a different story. they schedule us 35 or less hrs a week then cut us each day, yet have postings that we are hiring for more people... oh and thanks to min. wage going up this last yr our yearly increase of 1.00 went to .35 and the company did not tell us! yes thanks for increasing your wages however that should not have effected our yearly increase. we should have gotten the $1 we were all promised and the .50 you decided to go up to match the MI state min. wage increase!!!! Rant over!!!!

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!!
