Pros

Nothing about this company is a Pro.

Cons

I was a Store Manager that couldn't make any decisions about my store. I wasn't allowed to interview my own employees, I wasn't allowed to get rid of any bad employees. The DM's that have never had a retail job fresh out of college run your store from their cell phones. If you think that you will be running your own store with this company, you are dead wrong. You are just a door mat for the real store Manager (DM). I also worked an average of 70 hrs a week and never saw my family. I once worked 5am on a Tuesday morning until 3pm on Wednesday because of an inventory and a visit. I was also asked to do a stretch assignment in a store 2 hrs away for one week that was mandatory, that turned into a month with no reimbursement or travel pay.

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!!
