Pros

Easy to move up in yhe company

Cons

Pay is not competitive for the work that is needed to be done. Pay raises have been stalled, work has more than doubled, and staffing has been cut but efficiency still needs to be met. Employees used to stay with the company but now it is a revolving door due to the amount of work needed to be done with no real benefits. Our insurance plan is higher this year, small in store moral boosters have been taken away, and every penny that can be pinched is being pinched yet online influencers get lavish rewards.

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!!
