Pros

Job is not complicated. Pay is good. Benefits are good.

Cons

Standards for internals vs outside hires are not consistent. If you want to work up, get hired lower in. If you start in the store manager trainee program you are set up to fail. Period. If you go in a a worker, either base level or assistents you have nothing but opportunity.

Pros

Great coworkers, nice work flow.

Cons

You have to do a lot in an opening shift. You have x hours to stock all the pallets before open, sometimes there are a lot so you have to move quickly.

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!!
