Pros

Can't think of any apart from bank holiday double pay!

Cons

Starting at 4am , unloading 10 pallets on your own in 4 hrs and being expected to stay unpaid to finish. Staying late after 9 pm when store closes until all the jobs and cleaning complete, 10.50pm on a Saturday night, unpaid ! Getting rude phone calls from managers to get you to start shifts early .

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!!
