Pros

Pay is good in comparison to other grocery stores. Good work if you like staying busy cause the store is always busy!

Cons

The store is always busy, I know I put that as a pro but it's also a con since staying busy means no time for breaks or lunches, so you better eat before your shift. There are only 3 people per shift, including a manager and that's not good especially since if the next person due in calls in. And get ready to work crazy hours and despite the availability that you put on your application they want you to have open availability and requesting days off? Well good luck with getting that approved. And the work load is crazy you have to do everything from cleaning the whole store, stocking and checking out customers. This place is always having job fairs and now that I work here I see why.

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!!
