Pros

You will receive money in your bank account every 2 weeks, based on hours you spend at the facility

Cons

- Vacation Time is only 1 week...and it must be accrued - Expected WEEKLY to work until 10-10:30 PM and return the next day at 5:45 AM - Texts almost every single day from co-workers asking to switch last minute - Dreadful training process..."Was I even shown what to do?" - Store Managers care ONLY about their MONTHLY (& Annual) bonus...employees do NOT matter - NO UNION REPRESENTATION (Work here 5 days...and you will "get" why this matters)

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!!
