Pros

Better pay than other supermarkets and during busy periods easy to work extra hours

Cons

The job is okay but quite physically tiring. The hours are very unsociable and instead of just morning shifts 4:00-13:00 or just closing shifts 13:00-22:30 they alternative between the two so you can’t get a good sleep schedule. The hours are very long too and it’s common to work 9-11 hours per shift. All staff are expected to be able work all aspects of the shop floor but many staff members are too lazy to work the stock and just sit on tills, so often some staff members have to carry the load of what other staff members do not do. Most the staff are quite nice apart from a few unpleasant and rude managers.

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!!
