Pros

Good starting salary - 32k for inside M25, growing number of locations, friendly head office team, some great store colleagues

Cons

Promise of good work/life balance is quickly removed, lack of inspiring leadership, no motivating factors other than money, ruthless line management, no time to complete your training, little focus on colleague engagement, under-performing colleagues not dealt with due to strict turnover targets, dirty stores, no focus on store service, no way to escalate customer feedback, lacking a people approach.

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!!
