Pros

The pay and monthly bonus is great. Benefits are second to none.

Cons

Be ready to give up your life. Staffing was a constant issue because they consider full time 25 hours or more, and the DM's want their huge productivity at any cost. 'Push your people to do more' is their motto. Aldi may pay more but when my employees were only given 28 hrs they quit. The DM's don't care about anything except getting their big numbers. I worked on days off, 60-90 hrs per week. No appreciation, even after several years with the company. Not worth the personal sacrifice. If you want work/life balance DO NOT work here.

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!!
