Pros

Ok pay. Closed on holidays. Good health Insurance.

Cons

DM mirco manage everything. The only reason they have store manager is to have someone to blame. You can't have a life if you work for Aldi. Have to work min. 50 hours but its more like 60 to 70 or more. No overtime time pay for manager no matter how many hours you work. Even on your days off the Dm's harass you. Unrealistic productivity goals. Also store managers work 60 to 70 hours a week with no breaks.

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!!
