Pros

Competitive pay/benefits, great colleagues, and you’re given a ton of responsibility from day one. Can’t think of another job where you gain as much experience, knowledge, and autonomy right off the bat. Work life balance is reasonable, expected to work 50hr weeks.

Cons

Initial 6 months “store phase” of training can be brutal (60-70hrs/week) depending on the store you get placed in, but this is only the last 3 months. How much you enjoy your job can greatly be impacted by the director you work under. Not a lot of room for growth unless you are willing to relocate or spend 2 years abroad.

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!!
