Pros

-No two days are alike -Meeting lots of different people with different work ethics and learning how to use peoples strengths per store needs -understanding how retail store budgets and operates -developing associates to the stores requirements -hours go by as you will always be multitasking -must have high energy as it is very fast pace

Cons

- More thorough interview process and strict termination procedure (include ASM) -Develop an app for call offs that can easily be used for management looking for bodies when call offs occur as call offs are a weekly thing, hence my suggestion for a more thorough hiring process. Always being understaffed takes a toll on health and mental health of workers. Store cannot be up to DM/DOO standards with continuous hiring of incompetent associates who have no desire to be developed nor who understand the physical demand of the job prior to hiring. -DM are hiring just to have an able body and thus the store suffers as others have to do their work as well. -Termination procedures should be more clear and affective. -Long hours due to lack of good employees and their nonexistent work ethic. -Disrespected/threatened by employees and DM doesn’t handle situations seriously

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!!
