Pros

- To be fair good package with 20 AL and 1 birthday leave - Office close to MTR - No OT (for some team/department)

Cons

- Micromanagement and numerous company policies (e.g., clean desk, desk booking, dress code, email font and size...) - Poor management accompanied by a toxic culture (e.g., disrespectful language towards colleagues, emotionally-driven management, a management style promoting yes-men) - Job description does not align with the actual responsibilities - Limited learning opportunities, as the company has specialized operations and tailor-made processes that are difficult to apply in most other companies - Unpleasant working environment characterized by high pressure, akin to working in a restrictive environment similar to a jail. - A lot of meetings

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!!
