Pros

Nothing that other companies don't also provide. Sometimes your coworkers are OK, if they last.

Cons

Aldi was great pre pandemic but post pandemic has made employees the last on its priority of investments. The pay is lower than anywhere else, the work is significantly harder, and the amount of things on your plate is ridiculous for a so called unskilled position. The company made cash hand over fist during the pandemic, but since become a meme store they've spent loads money focusing on useless, outdated customer feedback strategies and expansion (55 stores in 1 year!), but nothing on employee retention.

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!!
