Pros

I was employed at the Aldi distribution center on both First and Second shift for a year and a half while going to school. The work itself was manageable. Some managers were reasonable. The pay was good.

Cons

Although the work was reasonable, you were EXPECTED to pick up other peoples slack(aka the favorites) which means that a potential 8 hour work day could easily turn in to a 10 hour work day. Managers, supervisors and trainers penny pinch every ounce of energy you have while on the clock. It used to be tolerable and well run without them pushing their corporate agenda down employees throat.

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!!
