Pros

It will be hard to find more responsibility coming out of college. They pay and benefits speak for themselves, but the work is rewarding. It is not for the faint of heart, but they let us know that from the start. You will not learn by sitting on the sidelines, they will throw you into the action. You will be engaged from day one and expected to contribute, which is refreshing. They attempt to hire the best, and will hold you to that standard.

Cons

Hours, work-life, and stress. This is more so at the beginning, but you will be working some hours in this position. Like I stated above, they attempt to hire the best, and hold you to that standard. They will push you for results, and if you are not returning them then you will have discussions with upper management. Again, this is only a con if you make it; most who work hard will get over this hump and enjoy successful careers and move up within the company. They tell you upfront about all of the negatives and I have not felt deceived yet. Be honest and work hard and everything else works out.

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!!
