Pros

Promotions from within, good salary. Great opportunities and satisfaction if have a good manager

Cons

Bad work life balance. Very unsociable hours- getting worse and less compensation this year due to restructuring pay for deputies on shift. use salaried managers to avoid extra costs. Unfair management differences between stores, resulting in some rotas being more unfair than others.

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!!
