Pros

ALDI's business model is skyrocketing throughout the US. Rapid remodeling and new store openings. It's sad to see so many store managers and DM's complain about work life balance on here when that is totally indicative of poor time management on their part. I'm consistently in high regard with my management and I'm home by 5 everyday if I want to be. The job is tough, but the amount of autonomy and responsibility you have along with pay, growth, and benefits really makes it an awesome place to work. It takes emotional toughness.

Cons

People with cons for the company are those who are being intensely supervised because of poor performance, which makes perfect sense. Underperformers are over supervised. What's wrong with that?

Pros

Pay, benefits, fast-paced work environment, freedom to work as an individual or with a group, getting to work with well-priced, (mostly) ethically produced food.

Cons

Literally the worst coworkers I've ever had; 90% of the coworkers were disrespectful, judgemental, and were near exact replicas of the childish gossip-loving people I went to high school with, it's sad. The metrics you have to meet to stay employed at ALDI are incredibly demanding and difficult to maintain with the inconsiderate scheduling of this job. It is not uncommon to work 1 PM - 9 PM then 6 AM - 2 PM the next day, all the while you have to constantly lift 40+ lbs while stocking. I'm in good shape and still young, but after getting off work at this job I feel like I've aged 30 years -- with back pain, sore legs and feet, the list goes on. However this is all due to the fact that I work at one of the busiest stores in the United States, so I'm sure not all stores are this bad.
