Pros

Benefits and pay are pretty good.

Cons

How they run the stores puts undo criticism on the employee at register. The customers are either going to like how the store runs on limited employees and fast checkout, or they won't. Those that don't like it complain. And since the only person they actually see is at the register, the sales associate gets the brunt of the hostility from the customer. I've found the customers are easily offended and easily complain over nothing. They also don't have to have anything specific to get a sales associate in trouble. The customer just has to feel offended.

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!!
