Pros

Fast-paced, managers support each other most of the time, Benefits.

Cons

Expectation of being able to perform as if you were 3-4 people. Unrealistic strategies for streamlining operational work. Expect lowest level of staff to care about store conditions as if they owned the store. Pay is no longer competitive and hourly employees only received 50 cent raise in the last 2 years. Managers got nothing unless you were capped in pay then you got a small bonus. Ever since corporate has taken control of operations everything has gone downhill. They are micromanaging every aspect of the business while dumping new programs that conflict with each other and cause massive operational nightmares.

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!!
