Pros

Starting pay was well above minimum wage. Few store workers which cuts down on work drama. The store is closed early at night, opens later on Sunday's and closed most holidays.

Cons

Manual labor is intense with unloading pallets. Stocking the fridge and freezer can be challenging to those sensitive to cold temperatures. You are timed for how many items you can scan per minute, and they have extremely fast standards which causes a delima with good customer service.

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!!
