Pros

Great benefits! Great customers, except for a select few. And decent starting pay. And flexibility (sometimes)

Cons

Everybody wants to be the boss! Regardless of their position. Please don't let the chair fool you. It's backbreaking work, hard on the the body, physically. You talk about rewards...What rewards??? You're only approached when you didn't do something right (by their definition). As long as it's done, right? And lastly, no 40hr work week guarantee for a full time employee.

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!!
