Pros

You get a good paycheck compared to other retail establishments. If you like a fast paced environment and you are not afraid of hard work, you will succeed. Everything is run on a system so there typically isn't anyone breathing down your neck while you are working.

Cons

They will trap you in with the money and will try and work you to death. They are not flexible at all when it comes to taking breaks and to time off. Management will micromanage everything. Do not expect to have any sort of regular life outside of Aldi. You will always be working when you need time off.

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!!
