Pros

Somewhat high pay, fully expensed vehicle, occasional remote work.

Cons

Extremely toxic environment, unrealistic expectations, poor upper management, poor communication, company technology broken. Prepare to be endlessly gaslighted if you accept a DM position with Aldi. Prepare to work 60-70 hour weeks, every week, but have to lie about it to your leader to help them save face with the company's "work-life balance" initiative. Any sign of vulnerability will be used against you.

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!!
