Pros

Closed on holidays and paid for. Paid lunch. I have no other pros but have to have 20 words...

Cons

Underpaid. Aldi workers are required to do the work of 3 people and only get paid less than minimum wage for two. They do NOT promote from within instead hire idiots off of the street that have never even been in an aldi. The district managers back the store managers no matter what and don't listen to what the shift managers say. They pay people $14 an hr to train someone making $22... It's the most backwards multi billion dollar business out 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!!
