Pros

Best benefits I've ever had. 1 week vacation to start, increases with senority 5 paid sick days, increases with senority 401k with 5% matching fully vested after 5 years. Healthcare that does not require referrals, $1400 deductible, less than $100 a month. Vision can cover both glasses and contacts and exam. 7 paid holidays, paid if you do not work, plus time and a half if you do work. Green company that works to reduce their carbon foot print.

Cons

Was told I needed to make people "scared" to call in sick during a pandemic. Was told that I needed to be meaner to employees to get them to move faster. Generally not open to positive reinforcement through management. They try to force people to find their own replacement if they are calling off sick. Generally have been asked to treat people in a way that makes me question the ethics of my direct superiors. I feel that if I voice my opinion, I will be retaliated against. Being asked to train people who are hired above me in position without additional pay.

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!!
