Pros

- Management is lax and left me alone. This was a unique case to my location - Customer base was primarily elderly and more rich in my location, making them on average a bit more well mannered. This can vary. - My store was smaller, giving me less to do - Work culture seems to be mostly not toxic. The employees are friendly and the only points of contention were towards management.

Cons

- Corporate is making the job harder every month without an increase in pay. - $16 an hour is not that special any more compared to what pay used to be a year ago. Most locations offer almost $16 for almost a fraction of the effort and labour needed. - Extremely labourious. The first couple of months will be miserable until you build up the muscles, and management and corporate will always give you more tasks and less time to do them. - Part timers get least priority for hour and inconcistent hours. Last week i had only 4 hours, this next week I have as much hours as full timers. Full time also dont actually get their full 40 hours, usually only 30-37 hours a week. Part time was advertised as 30/hr a week, so that was a massive lie. - You cannot be hired as only a stocker or only a cashier. Everyone does everything, irregardless of what your job title is. I am hired as a stocker, but I have gone weeks only doing cashiering. It's not that bad but its quite misleading.

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!!
