Pros

Usually a great mix of staff. Holiday pay and benefits for full timers. Always active, not a dull moment. Very stimulating environment.

Cons

Micro managing at its finest. “Improved” leader tier isn’t fair. Company is becoming very corporate (cut out late start Sundays/extra pay on Sundays, starting to work more holidays, tested the open later schtick before covid). Fast paced isn’t always great. Not as flexible hours as expected. Forget about seeing family or having an outside life if you’re full time here.

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!!
