Pros

The money and the benefits are the only good part about this place. The money isn't that great and there's little room to move up.

Cons

Everything else. This place is a joke. The management treats you like crap as do the district managers, which are kids straight out of high school with a god complex. They always play favorites and look for any excuse to fire someone if they don't like them. An assistant manager had been with the company 25 years and was fired 2 months before retirement so they didn't have to pay her. A store manager finally quit after nearly 25 years because she couldn't take it anymore. Stay far away from this god forsaken place.

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!!
