Pros

Decent pay,good benefits and vacation time.

Cons

No work/life balance, hours vary too much, and if you get sick you basically have to come in to work. Management is okay but they act like Aldi is life and you're life at that. don't expect get weekends off,very rare that you do,even just one day. Favoritism/seniority is prevalent and not well hidden. If you have an emergency or get sick like stated before,you can't get off unless someone can cover your shift and no one will. Often work 6days straight with no overtime pay,it's not even available.

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!!
