Pros

Great benefits (only for full time). Workday goes by fast. Good pay with lots of opportunities to pick up extra shifts.

Cons

Can be very stressful. There's is a constant pressure to be fast, precsise, and pleasant at all times. Unreasonable efficiancy goals, example: you may be expected to run the entire store with one other person for a majority of the day depending on how busy your store is.

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!!
