Pros

It is a job I suppose and I guess that has to count for something.

Cons

The worst management I have ever experienced. The management shames you, demeans you, guilt's you, micromanages you, and will manipulate you. I've seen men and women of all ages walk away in tears because of the way the managers treat the employees. There is no excuse for that. Unrealistic expectations and will demand that you work at 150% all the while saying that it's not good enough. The only people who work here are those that are left with no choice. Those who cannot find another job but have to feed their families. The company culture is built on moving as much product out the door as possible with no regard to the customer or employee. It is built on a shame based micromanagement style that ends with soulless people working at a bad job because they have come to believe they are not good enough for anything else but to restock bananas. There was no set schedule. Which makes it hard to plan the rest of your life.

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!!
