Pros

Good wage, time in lieu given for any hours worked over contract, lots of opportunities for growth and promotion, especially in this region. Able to take on more responsibility if you want.

Cons

Big hours. The contract is 40 hours/week but in busier periods (more often than not) you can work 50-60 hour weeks. As there are only 3-5 managers per store it can be difficult to swap shifts or find a replacement if you are sick.

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!!
