Pros

Very team orientated - they're serious about about everyone being a part of the whole, and most are great at it Customers - almost all customers understand and enjoy the way Aldi runs it's businesses, and are generally friendly as well Pay - high for retail RTO - most all of mine was granted

Cons

Task speed - they ask so much in so little time it jeopardizes your body, your customers experiences, and therefore your job there. Reward vs punishment - one time mistakes you make are immediately assumed against you, but excellence is ignored Punch clock - Watched like a hawk, down to the minute Understaffed - normally 2-3 workers in a store at a time (cashier, mod, store manager/2nd cashier), so store cleanliness and product freshness can seriously suffer sometimes Every store has at lest one "that employee" - because of the anxiety management facilitates, you'll always find that one major jerk- extremely rude to EVERYONE- employee. And that is not a good teammate to keep around. Refused to give me full time benefits but gave me full time hours - It's ultimately why I left.

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!!
