Pros

Physically demanding - Will keep you in shape 5am shifts mean clocking out at 1pm Fast paced environment Great starting pay - $15 / hour Always something to do, time goes by quickly Friendly coworkers Flexible hours Overall - Great job, great pay (as a college student), really enjoyable environment

Cons

Physically demanding - not for everybody, but I love it! 5am shifts mean waking up at 4am Stocking the freezer isn't meant for everybody either Being on register on busy days can become overbearing Will have to stock whole truck of groceries between 1 or 2 people Overall - Physically demanding, and rushed environment, and will take months to get used to, but it pays good money for an entry level grocery store job

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!!
