Pros

Solid pay, benefits are decent, fast-paced environment if that’s your style.

Cons

No protection for honest employees. Management encourages you to report harassment but later denies ever telling you to. They’ll admit the person accusing you is “playing the victim” or “crying wolf,” but still remove you to protect themselves. I was removed from the store an hour after a store manager acknowledged the accuser was the problem. It’s performative accountability—no integrity, no follow-through, just damage control.

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!!
