Pros

-Benefits are plentiful and nice -Salary is okay

Cons

-Located in Salzburg - if you are not all about mountains and lakes and walking in nature, but an active city life, look for something else. - city is dead and as boring as it gets Some managers are clearly not capable of working with people and act like entitled children - the company will not do anything as it is easier to find a new specialist or assistant than a new manager or at least this is their approach. If you are lucky to get into a nice team, then the job itself could be enjoyed, but if you get one of the "other" managers, then you will be bullied until you decide to leave or they fire you eventually. Some teams have positions where in the past 2 years they had already 5 people fired due to "bad work ethic"... Of course not 1 person investigates what could be the background of the stories with the managers where again and again the "unlucky" hires keep on happening.

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!!
