Pros

- Pay was half decent - Guaranteed hours each month

Cons

- Long hours - Expected to always be free outside of work so you can pick up other people's shifts - If you take a sick day, you can expect to have future shifts cut as punishment, which can sometimes result in you not meeting your minimum contract hours, and then you owe the company money (time) the following month. - Management isn't very supportive if you need more experience in certain areas of your work.

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!!
