Pros

The co-workers are generally all fine and friendly, great pay, awesome culture, great training, career progression is a real opportunity if you get the right support from management. I had the opportunity to train in a superior store with fantastic management until I relocated to another area.

Cons

It's active and hard work, I loved this element but may not be suitable for everyone. After relocation the manager in the second store was very rude and very aggressive. Didn't respect employees, customers or make an effort for them. Clearly responsibility and professionalism was not something practiced or upheld in this store.

Pros

Great pay Hours were always there The manager at my location is a rare gem. Never had a boss quite like him. Everyone I worked with became like my family.

Cons

EXTREMELY physically demanding. I injured myself multiple times while I worked there.

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!!
