Pros

for an entry level job this place has the best pay and benefits youll find

Cons

this place will make you sweat. there is a reason the pay is higher than most other grocerie stores and its because they expect significantly more of you than anywhere else at times making even that feel like not enough compensation for the amount of labor you put into it. also benefits are difficult to access at times due to outdated systems.

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!!
