Pros

Decent hours if you're in a store with high staffing needs. It's a good learning experience.

Cons

Managers will cut your hours in half with no warning (25 is considered FT here. Which is BS.) Ridiculous time limits for grocery pallets that are leaning and 6 feet tall. Store management speaks inappropriately to and about store associates. New DMs never have an accurate idea of how the stores actually run and has unrealistic expectations. (Hire people with RETAIL EXPERIENCE and not just newbies with a degree.) Theft happens more than it should. Customers are allowed to claim prices are lower than they are and management will allow it depending on the day/person. Certain employees are allowed to walk around doing FaceTime on the clock. Some of us are forced/harassed to rush constantly while others are either not trained or just allowed to slack off/be slower than the rest of us. Antagonistic employees depending on whose shift you're on.

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!!
