Pros

Excellent salary and benefits. That is all.

Cons

Worked as a store manager for 9 years. district managers are straight out of college with absolutely no real life experience. They are molded into "robots" and treat store level employees like garbage. Unrealistic goals, deliver poor results. Was sometimes in the store alone until 11am, and came in at 6..,,,just to hit the unrealistic labor commitment. 2 people there all day long.

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!!
