Pros

Fast pace work load and great pay. ALDI is flat out a hard job and takes getting used to but once you do, your work day flies by. It's not for everybody and people tend to quit very quickly. If you have a good work ethic, ALDI is a great place to be.

Cons

High turn over, # of hours per week fluctuates, no fixed schedules for anybody even management, You get sick pay and personal days but management WILL make you feel guilty for using it. ALDI is so short handed all the time that if you call in sick, often there is nobody who can replace you. It is also company policy that you are responsible for finding somebody to replace you. I got the flu once and wasn't able to leave my bed. When I called in sick my manager gave me a list of people to contact over the phone and just said "you'll have to get somebody to cover you".

Pros

Great pay Hours were always there The manager at my location is a rare gem. Never had a boss quite like him. Everyone I worked with became like my family.

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!!
