Pros

nice customers paid vacation co-workers thats literally it.

Cons

too tired to enjoy off-days high turn-over rate if schedule 3 days (not paid off) expect to be harassed to come in 2 of those days due to call outs or someone quitting customers dirtying up the bathroom real bad (bodily solids/fluids everywhere!), and managers expecting employees to clean it ( which is serious health hazard) No motivating or positive rein-enforcement just unproductive criticism and complaints from managers. 30 minute break during a grueling shift, even if you work at a more high volume store. outdated technology (cash registers) inconsistent schedules made by a poorly-programmed auto schedule software

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!!
