Pros

- samples were generous - clean and well kept office - great teams - the buying job is full on but rewarding and enjoyable

Cons

- not enough clarity when reporting into both manager and director - bad work life balance, often expected to be in early and stay late - toxic work culture and gas lighting from directors - when applying for specific jobs if you get it they can still move you to a category they deem as beneficial to the company

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!!
