Pros

Great benefits, great pay, ability to make your own decisions, flexible work schedule most of the time unless you have other obligations outside of Aldi then you're frowned upon to request off, not open on major holidays and the holidays they are open, if you work them, its time and a half and scaled back hours.

Cons

You are demanded to work extremely hard for the pay, very little work/life balance, manager may ask you to stay past your shift or to come in early before your shift and sometimes your days off don't happen, not guaranteed 40 hours a week sometimes you only work 25 a week, ALOT of unnecessary daily paperwork, you are held responsible for what your other coworkers don't finish, managers only use your strengths and don't work with you on your weaknesses, required to help out other stores when needed and you need to sleep with your phone on your pillow incase the alarm company calls to disable an alarm going off for no reason at 2am!

Pros

Great pay Hours were always there The manager at my location is a rare gem. Never had a boss quite like him. Everyone I worked with became like my family.

Cons

EXTREMELY physically demanding. I injured myself multiple times while I worked there.

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!!
