Pros

The position was easy as far as tasks go. I was able to pick up as many hours as I wanted

Cons

There are only two people in the store at a time, so the expectation that you get everything done solo is high, as your coworker is the manager and they tend to be MIA. The expectations are unreasonable. The company tracks everything you do, from how fast you check people out, to when you clock and out for your shift down to the minute. Don't expect to have multiple breaks. The only ones I was ever offered were 30 min at the end of my 8hr (sometimes more) shifts. Perhaps that is normal, but I have had much more accomidating breaks at other jobs in the past.

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!!
