Pros

At Aldi the pay is very good and the benefits are very good. They are closed on all the major Holidays. You feel good for the accomplishments you acheive in maintaining the store as a Store Manager. You will have Pride in yourself for the constant hard work.

Cons

You work like a Slave for the money you make. You rarely hear any good feedback from the DM's or Directors. They are constantly down your back telling you that your work is not good enough. Constant turnover at the DM position creates a very unconfortable work environment for you and your employees. DM's are hired right out of college with no experience and micro manage the Store Manager with 20 years of experience.

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!!
