Pros

The pay is very good.

Cons

No work life balance, no advancement opportunities beyond store manager, constantly getting phone calls on off days, no regard for personal life, the expectations are unrealistic and to top that off every time you meet a goal they just raise it higher and then nothing you do is ever good enough, they hire fresh college graduates to be district managers and most of them are clueless but you still have to answer to them while at the same time you're teaching them how to do their job. The list goes on...

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!!
