Pros

The starting pay is decent, the insurance is fantastic and affordable, the 401k matching is great

Cons

Quality of stores and management greatly vary, the job will be very taxing on your mental and physical health, scheduling can have you working up to 9 days in a row crossing into new week, the combination of physical labor, mental drain, obnoxious customers, and every single thing you do being timed lead to personal issues if you are someone who actually cares. There will always be slackers and you will end up doing their jobs.

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!!
