Pros

Never get bored, great staff and the pay is okay for the work

Cons

Incredibly slow promotions, they promote novice employees before they promote proven employees. Try to guilt you into working more shifts on your days off. Do as I say not as I do mentality. Essentially a dead end job at my location unless you’re willing to uproot and move. Store manager trainee has been sitting on the position for 2 years, does not have open availability and will not travel for the company. A long line of people been waiting on them to get promoted to that spot. Now they’ve restructured their management system and the promotion is no longer worth the effort. A promotion for me would equate to .20 cents more an hour

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!!
