Pros

Above average starting pay but that's honestly it.

Cons

You start to question your sanity. If you're looking for a job you hate going into every day, Aldi is the place for you. Modern day slavery which doesn't amount to even half of what you should be paid for the amount of work they pile on you. Never any constructive words from management. You'll constantly be hounded and told to move faster.

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!!
