      Pros

      Aldi pays well and the overall atmosphere makes you feel like your contribution matters. Also, great coworkers as well, makes your workday more enjoyable; never a dull moment.

      Cons

      Depending on who's your store manager, they set the tone of the store, you either love it or hate it. Also, upper management (district managers) are constantly breathing down your back. They lack actual experience in grocery retail most likely just got the job straight out of college, rather just have the "book smarts" for the job. Heard they don't like to promote from within with those positions. Could use room for better work/life balance; always feel like you're constantly on call. They don't believe in set schedules.

      Pros

      Great pay Hours were always there The manager at my location is a rare gem. Never had a boss quite like him. Everyone I worked with became like my family.

      Cons

      EXTREMELY physically demanding. I injured myself multiple times while I worked there.

      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!!
