Pros

You will find this job very challenging and you are given a great deal of trust and freedom. You hold yourself accountable and can work as often as you are willing to.

Cons

If you start as an associate at the ground level, you can be promoted to a shift manager but top out very quickly. You must also stay physically active 100% off the time you are on the clock, it can be exhausting and injuries can happen frequently.

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!!
