Pros

-Good pay with constant raises for the first few years -Good benefits

Cons

-They've been gutting hours like crazy the last 2 years while increasing the workload. 2025 has seen some of the worst schedules i've ever seen there in the 5 years i've worked there. District Managers and Regional Managers get upset when everything isn't perfect but don't give us the necessary workers needed to do everything. -Quality of shipments from the warehouse has plummeted in the last 2 year. Toddlers could build better pallets than what the warehouse sends to the stores.

Pros

Great coworkers, nice work flow.

Cons

You have to do a lot in an opening shift. You have x hours to stock all the pallets before open, sometimes there are a lot so you have to move quickly.

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!!
