Pros

Good benefits and the pay was fair.

Cons

Every task was timed and if time restrictions were not met employees suffered consequences. The amount of work that needed to be done in the opening procedures majorly out weighted the amount of time available before opening. Management was poor and there was a lack of consideration when it came to vacation or sick time. Scheduling conflicts were often and would not be fixed unless directly asked, often fixed at the expense of fellow employees. Employees were pushed to work harder without any compensation or motivation for their extra work. Management often directed employees on how to do tasks but never helped complete these tasks when staff was behind on opening duties.

Pros

Great pay Hours were always there The manager at my location is a rare gem. Never had a boss quite like him. Everyone I worked with became like my family.

Cons

EXTREMELY physically demanding. I injured myself multiple times while I worked there.

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!!
