Pros

Salary is decent, but not for the amount of work required.

Cons

Too much for one person to do. Store manager isn’t just a store manager here. You’re also a “fix-it” technician, stocker, cashier, curbside shopper, customer service rep, bathroom cleaner etc.. all that ON-TOP of all the ADMIN tasks required of the position. Too hard on the body long term, and too stressful on the mind with very few people to delegate to.

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!!
