Pros

The only pro of the job is that you get to be seated while checking people out.

Cons

It's intentionally understaffed and employee turnover is high. I remember one of my assistant managers joking how she was surprised that I was still working there at the 3rd month mark since so many employees left by then. You're responsible for all but managerial tasks and will be extremely micro managed, including being timed at the registers. At the end of every shift, they go over your "score" on your speediness and I was threatened to be laid off if my score wasn't consistently higher than 80.

Dependable not presentable, show under the rug as a discount store.

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!!
