Pros

Excellent pay, store managers are generally left to run their shops without much interference,

Cons

Easy to fudge the kpi’s and many store managers do so honesty doesn’t pay. Some area managers are great but some are fresh out of uni and don’t know how to motivate and engage others. Too much paperwork taken away from area managers and given to store managers who need to be on the floor with their teams.

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!!
