Pros

Pay is higher than other grocery stores

Cons

Arrogant and cynical district managers Don't like employees without open availability They try to drop you to part time if you are in school, so that they will not have to give you benefits. Shift managers only get paid a higher rate when the store manager is not there or another shift manager is not on duty although you are still doing manager duties. Once you're a shift manager, they do not like to promote any higher. The shift managers are training, manager trainees but making half the pay. Raises are not based on performance so the hard workers make the same as the slackers. Always under staffed.

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!!
