Pros

Team members are equally as burnt out. Trauma bonds formed. You can be real with customers without getting in trouble.

Cons

Unreal expectations on cashiers, DM's are college yesmen with zero grocery experience, everyone is overworked and the warehouse could care less about the condition of the load being sent out.

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!!
