Pros

Industry leading pay Some level of flexibility with shift work Opportunity to progress is available at the lowest level

Cons

Pay differential with other supermarkets is not sufficient compared to work required Full flexibility usually means late shifts and weekend working Opportunity for progression is limited to hourly pay, progressing to salaried management is very difficult Some stores/areas are better run than others, depends entirely on shop-shop/area-area basis. Some managers are great, some not so much.

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!!
