Pros

The starting pay is awesome! I started at $11.50/ hour. I've been there a month an they are already traing me for a promotion.

Cons

Very fast paced. Cannot ask for certain shifts (morning/evening). Throw a TON of information at you when you start and expect you to remember it all immediately. Shifts are random. 6-2, 7-9, 10-7, 9-8, 8-5, 2-8, 4-8, 12-8.

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!!
