Pros

Days fly by, even when they are 12-16 hour days. All major holidays off, although not all paid. Your 1040 looks nice, until you divide your pay by actual hours worked.

Cons

AS A STORE MANAGER Unrealistic expectations Minimal staffing Extremely physical and demanding A thankless job

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!!
