Pros

Competitive pay for retail, at the time (2017). Seems a little low now, though. The benefits were decent. Everything was very straightforward, which was nice; expectations were clear, and you were either meeting them or you were not.

Cons

Most days are spent working at a grueling pace, whether unloading large trucks or running the store and boxing (front and face), sometimes doing both. Lack of flexible scheduling, and lack of consideration in scheduling, as well. Sometimes you would get out of the building at midnight and be expected back at 6 am, ready to throw a truck.

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!!
