Pros

Maybe the money? But is your health really worth the risk?

Cons

Strains on your body physically, strain on your mental health massively. Customers are rude often and all your given for advice is, ~"you need to be strong and put on a strong front, don't let it get you" ... Wow yeah great advice.. If you're seen resting for a millisecond you will be demanded to explain/go into the meeting room or you'll be given a job to complete in a ridiculous time period. One day off and its marked, two days and you'll be brought into the meeting room and spoken too. Ridiculous shift patterns. 5am (up at 3) or you "finish" at 10.30pm when in reality its more like 12am on-wards. If you have any kind of health issues or conditions, (back problems, diabetic, etc) DON'T and i repeat, DO NOT apply. Worst decision i ever made. Yes you get £10.20, but i have never felt so down trodden and exhausted mentally physically and emotionally.

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!!
