Pros

Great pay and benefits. My team members were very informative and engaging during training. I never felt stupid for asking what may have been a simple question.

Cons

An obsession on efficiency which can take away from the ability to provide great customer service. The shifts are ran extremely lean at about 3-5 associates per. If you have 1 call out on the wrong day, it can destroy a week of freight. Once you start getting behind it just compounds.

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!!
