Pros

the pay is great, and the benefits are decent

Cons

Everything else. Days off come one at a time, so say goodbye to a "normal" 2 day weekend. Management is stubborn and at times hostile. The work is backbreaking and being criticized for what you do is commonplace. No sense of accomplishment in this job either... The work never varies and is never done. You don't get a chance to stand back and look at what you've accomplished because you never really accomplish anything. Think of the hamster running his ass off on the exercise wheel but never really going anywhere. That's exactly what it feels like to work at Aldi.

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!!
