Pros

Pay, plus pace of work agrees with me

Cons

I was originally hired as a “seasonal associate” to help Aldi cope with coronavirus-induced traffic increases. Ended up working ~32 hrs/week for over 90+ days. My work was exemplary enough that I was recently offered a full-time position, with the caveat that my service to the company during a global health pandemic would not be credited towards my health insurance probation. I received this “promotion” the same day we placed “Heroes Work Here.” This is insultingly callous.

Pros

Great pay Hours were always there The manager at my location is a rare gem. Never had a boss quite like him. Everyone I worked with became like my family.

Cons

EXTREMELY physically demanding. I injured myself multiple times while I worked there.

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!!
