Pros

They pay well. That’s it.

Cons

Working for Aldi was one of the worst decisions I’ve ever made and I deeply regret it. The culture there is the most toxic I have ever experienced. Other DMs bully the new hires and actively try to push them to quit. I was berated, humiliated, and made to feel worthless, especially after reporting sexual harassment by a peer and being told to “just try to move on and not bring it up again”. I do not have a single nice thing to say about this company. Absolutely disgusting people. The only good people are the hard working people in the stores.

Pros

Great pay Hours were always there The manager at my location is a rare gem. Never had a boss quite like him. Everyone I worked with became like my family.

Cons

EXTREMELY physically demanding. I injured myself multiple times while I worked there.

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!!
