Pros

Great pay, great medical benefits, no co pay for just a regular Dr. visit.

Cons

You have to do the job of 2, so you must be very productive, everything is fast paced, so you rarely get to slow down to see how your staff and family is doing, lack of value for employees is the reason Aldi has such high turnaround, the model seems to be, if you wont do it, we will find someone that will and its no sweat of there back. I've seen District Managers quit after over 13 years with company, just no value for Managers, but told its the most important in Company. Takes way to long to get rid of horrible employees, they don't just quit like most people. I have seen us give a final notice to the same person twice, "ok, this is your final final warning".

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!!
