Pros

Pay is above average. Get to make your weekly schedule as store manager. If in a nice neighborhood will get to know your customers by first name basis.

Cons

Aldi is all about productivity. That means 2 people in the store to open, 2 to close and on weekends if lucky you get a mid. All work still needs to get done and it is on the salaried store manager to complete and work extra hours without any extra compensation. The part that makes it very difficult is the physical demands on your body on top of long hours.

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
