Pros

chance to progress from store assistant to deputy manager. good salary if you're the only manager on the shift, running the store, thats 4 pounds extra per hour.

Cons

cutting down on premium hours. only around 1 pound difference between the store assistant and deputy manager wage, but a lot more responsibilities and expectations. no further progression. company prefers to hire ppl from outside other than promote their own ppl. 30 hour contract. if sick even for a day need to bring a doctors sick note, no self certification accepted. holidays being allocated if not all booked in january for the whole year in front. company not keen on training staff. very fast pased, priority on saving money and sending staff home early other than having full and tidy shelves.

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!!
