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!!

Pros

Pay, benefits, schedule, responsibility, freedom, trust, insurance, company car, vacation, training, mentors, company culture, being treated as an executive from day 1

Cons

It can be high stress. Having freedom means you are responsible for being efficient with your time. Unexpected tasks arise fairly often.

Pros

The pay. And maybe the benefits. As a District Manager Trainee you get a car, free gas with car, a company card with your name on it, and a generous interest-free loan (they deduct a fixed amount every month until you complete training, assuming you complete training. If you leave before, and you probably will, they take it out of your last paycheck.) all on your first day.

Cons

You, however will be working for that car, company car, and hefty paycheck. You will rise at five, be in by six, throw a load (unload the delivery) for three dreadful hours. You will do this in the cooler, you will do this in the freezer, the deep freezer, and you will do this alone. Then you and a single cashier will stock the shelves, cash people out, and you my friend, will not stop moving. Incidentally, there are no lunch breaks. On the plus side, you WILL lose weight. You will also be required to attend meetings on your day off. You will also be required to do homework and reading. A LOT of homework and reading. Then you will be required to go to headquarters on your day off, and go over your homework with the Operations Director. This is as fun as it sounds. In short, you will be rewarded generously for having no life. If you've been through the second interview, and have been offered a job, I'd basically tell you don't do it. You see car, you see large paycheck, rising steadily every year, and I'm telling you it's not worth it. But you probably won't listen. I wouldn't have.
