Pros

Decent pay & benefits... Bonus pay if you recommend someone that lasts 3 months or longer.... That's about it though....

Cons

Very inconsistent, disorganized company. Unprofessional management, back-stabbing co-workers. Entitled, uppity, snobbish customers that treat you worse than scum of the earth and complain about every move you make, even when you've done nothing wrong (I have had a customer scream at me and complain to management when all I did was greet him and ask him if he was paying with a card or with cash!). Everything you do is on a timer and if you don't finish in a time that management considers "fast", expect to be made fun of and either treated like a toddler or a person with a mental disability.

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!!
