Pros

Decent pay (if you're scheduled your job and get hours)

Cons

Lack of Management Lack of support from management CRAPPY hours Full time is only considered 25 hours They will write you up without telling you You get paid as a manager for manager shifts and get paid as an associate for the other hours although you're still held to the same high standard Negative store morale Remodels majorly affect your hours Impossible to have a good work life balance Turn over rate is ridiculous and it's because A) people don't realize the amount of work that is expected from them B) the terrible working conditions that the upper management creates C) impossible work life balance

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!!
