Pros

Going home and forgetting about the place

Cons

EXTREME micromanagement, calls to come in on days off, the unrealistic expectation from upper management that you can manage, run, and stock a supermarket with 4 staff members on. You will get injured and be made to feel guilty for it, you will feel like a number and you will feel completely under appreciated for your hard work and efforts.

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!!
