Pros

Aldi's pays well and promotions are available if you work hard. Benefits are nice. The work environment is pleasant. There is good, constant communication with management.

Cons

The work is back breaking. Almost every person I know who works for or has worked for aldi requires surgery due to the extensive physical work done. Whether its back issues, carpal tunnel; if you stay working there you are going to age your body well beyond its years.

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!!
