Pros

Benefits are amazing for a grocery store Starting pay is great, max out at $14. Off holidays

Cons

Little to no work / life balance, shifts sceduled give you no time to do much before of after work. Pushed and pushed to be faster at everything Very bad training, basically thrown into the job and expected to do it fast and correct Have little coworker conversations or interactions, most coworkers have poor attitudes due to poor work life balance

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!!
