Pros

If full time, benefits are amazing. Cannot compete with other companies. Hours are not too bad, as early as 6 am with average night leaving no later than 11 pm. The work is MUCH harder than you think. 2nd week I had to throw 800 pounds of flour above my head.

Cons

Scheduling, unless your store is constantly busy and you're one of the better associates with OPEN availability, your hours will be cut. I want 20 hours a week and I'm currently getting 6. If you're good you can get promoted quickly, but once you hit store manager you cannot go up to district manager, they only hire DM outside of Aldi, not from within

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!!
