Pros

No enforced, unpaid breaks unlike other supermarkets.

Cons

Brushed a sexual harassment case under the rug. Totally unstable hours. No consistency in shifts. i.e. 14:00 - 02:00 and then two days later 06:00 - 14:00 Often would get in only the be sent home. Sometimes people would get sent home and then others would need to stay late. Management took my food/ drinks out the fridge for themselves. 10hr+ shifts on one 30 minute break. Always under/ short staffed. Was asked to clock out and then stay two hours so I wouldn't officially exceed my maximum hours and to , "take it for the team,"

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!!
