Pros

Pay for entry level position right out of college isn't bad. Decent health benefits, and company car with gas card.

Cons

There is no work life balance for store managers or district managers. They claim you should only work around 50 hours a week which is laughable. You will work between 80 to 100 hours a week unless everything in your store runs perfectly without any hiccups.

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!!
