Pros

Decent wages. There is a 20 word minimum so I have to fill up the word count, but other than a decent wage I did not see any other pros about working here.

Cons

Cut-throat upper management staff (don't try to work harder than your boss to prove yourself, mine didn't like that), older employees don't have to unload freezer or stock grocery every day even though wages are the same, if your ring speed is not up to standards they will hound you every day (you will literally have to throw people's items into the cart as fast as you can scan and have no regard for damaging or smashing products), if other employees get unaccounted for cigarette breaks and you don't smoke (as in my case) you will not get any extra break, worked with an all female staff besides one other guy and we were treated horribly.

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!!
