Pros

Huge amount of responsibility Free rain to run your store the way you want (to a degree) Directors & MD knows you by name Massive salary in return for the work you put in

Cons

Little to no support from AM’s once the going gets tough, you just expected to deal with it or ‘manage the situation’ and then your performance managed by your AM for your management. There is a very evident ‘blame’ culture AM’s with minimal people management skills Work/Life balance is non existent Responsible for your store even during times of annual leave.

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!!
