Pros

fast paced day went fast most of the time.

Cons

As trainee manager you still do the managers role without the pay, after your three year traineeship is up if they don't want you they will just demote you back to store assistant. Heaps of long hours and you are on a salary. Everything is timed. Poor culture at work and I have worked in several stores- if you hurt your back e.t.c you are just expected to suck it up! NO WORK LIFE BALANCE, YOUR LIFE IS ALDI Believe me if you don't have a bad back before you start at Aldi you will!

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!!
