Pros

It's pretty hard to get fired once you are employed at ALDI.

Cons

Poor management. Found my self doing the full-time managers roles on a daily basis. 24/7 availability. This also includes answering phone calls from security and all hours of the night to come in and check if the store is ok. Only get paid the one hours work. Horrible. Dealing with some incompetent employees is a given. Once you have Finnished your job you're are rewarded by receiving the other person's incomplete work. I would not recommend this job to anybody unless they really needed the money or were at uni. There is no work life balance. Just work.

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!!
