Pros

Pay is good. That is the only thing, nothing else.

Cons

Long hours. You stay till the job is done. Doesn't matter if you have 40 pallets or 60. You don't go home. Being pressured into overtime. No feedback, except negative feedback. If you want to leave on time, you are threatened with negative performance reviews and 100% will get into an argument with the morning Assistant Manager. You can work 70 hours a week, with one day off. They rotate till 4 am but you have to stay till the manager comes in at 5 am in the morning and then you have to stay till he checks the store. Only two people on nights and you work 40000 pounds worth of delivery.

Pros

Great pay Hours were always there The manager at my location is a rare gem. Never had a boss quite like him. Everyone I worked with became like my family.

Cons

EXTREMELY physically demanding. I injured myself multiple times while I worked there.

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!!
