Pros

Room for growth fast but.

Cons

Base pay is 17 dollars for associates with a 2 dollar premium making it 19 a hour. You don't get 40 hours at your home store more like 32 to 36 so you make more with less pay if you actually make 40 hours. If you have connections they won't fire bad apple's just brush it aside. Won't give leave of absence if needing it for any reason other then your hurt or death in family. You just have to quite if it's more then two weeks and get rehired.

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!!
