Pros

Responsibilities given very early, careful and detailed training with mentors, large variety of tasks.

Cons

No specific training on programs, abilities and other qualifications needed everywhere in the world outside the company. Once you are not the one out of ten to twenty candidates to get promoted after 5 years of service, your career will be finished.

Responsibilities are given in early stages. Learning by doing. Direct contact with VPs and Board members.

Cons

Only few possible career steps. No influence on next steps during first 7 years. No competencies to easily adopt other functions trained. Poor career planning and development of employees.

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!!
