Pros

Slightly higher pay than other jobs like it. Good benefits.

Cons

Inconsistent schedule - could work until 10 or 11 4 days in one week or have to work until 10 or 11 then be back at 6am multiple days in a row. Awful work/life balance - Many employees work EVERY Saturday and Sunday unless they speak up, which some are intimidated to do. Favoritism runs rampant. Unrealistic expectations in regards to how much can get done in a certain amount of time. Constant complaints and demands from management about getting more done but refuse to hire more employees. Continually added more steps to every process while keeping time expectations the same. Terrible employees NEVER get fired and others have to pick up the slack. Warehouse is a complete mess - trucks arrive late without any warning, pallets are missing, drivers have no regard for pallets and making sure product is not damaged.

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!!
