Pros

I genuinely do not have any pros for aldi other than that it pays slightly more than other grocery stores in my area.

Cons

We don't get paid enough, we're expected to be machines and not people, the efficiency standards are so high that we get screwed over when one person calls off. As a manager I only make $1 an hour more than associates, and they didn't give me the raise I earned after a year.

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!!
