Pros

Good people to work with. Everyone is in the same boat at store assisstant level and below. Everyone has a good understanding with each other and the stresses of the job. Good pay in regards to supermarket wage (not in the grand scheme of things)

Cons

Really unsociable hours. management team lack any motivational skills. absolutely no opportunity for career progression unless you lick the manager's bottoms. They don't care how good you are at the job just if you like to have a pint with them after the shift. Head office and especially payroll are seriously incompetent. On numerous occasions they messed up pay and took weeks to sort it out, WEEKS! If you don't want to challenge yourself in any aspect then this job is for you. Same thing everyday and zero sense of achievement.

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!!
