Pros

I started working at Aldi in 2015 and loved it. It was hard work but you felt like you were part of a successful team, which was very motivating. Great if you want to work part time as a store assistant.

Cons

Nowadays upper management ask for more and more and give you less and less to work with. Day in, day out this becomes very tiring, especially given you can be working 12-14 hour shifts with only a 30 minute break. You never feel like you have enough time to complete the job which leads to jobs getting rushed and not completed to a high standard.

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!!
