Pros

Some decent coworkers, helpful store manager.

Cons

Some store assistants acting like they're the manager, other managers judgement. I got called lazy, stupid and a whole bunch of nasty comments, its been my first month and I'm expected to get everything perfect and done on time other wise I get yelled at by the assistant, deputy managers and for training I watched a 5 min video and was on the floor once the video was done. I get told to do things in so many different ways and deadlines, I now also have to remember how each person likes me to do it.

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!!
