Pros

Pay and benefits are way above market average.

Cons

Expected to work 70 hours a week. You only manage less than 5% of your day. Every second of your day is accounted for. You will go home wiped out everyday after your 11-12 hour day of non-stop working the floor. DM's do not care about their people, they are only focused on hitting unreachable productivity. You will be threaten to be fired daily. You work most days with yourself and one other person. Entire time consist on 9 employees. DM's have no management experience, they are recruited out of college.

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!!
