Pros

Flexible hours, great pay compared to other retail grocery stores. The groceries are much cheaper compared to Wegmans, Food Lion, or Safeway

Cons

Need to be hard working, constant lines, always gotta be fast at cashier (above 85% items per hour, my record is 131% on a four hour day), constant pressure to be efficient, people are dumber than you think, common sense does not exist at my store it seems

Business Outlook

Pros

Aldi has good benefits and pays slightly more than retail competitors

Cons

The productivity standards are unrealistic and stressful, also if a co worker called out I would often be called, when I started Aldi said I would get at least 1 sat/sun off 2 weeks of the month, never happened unless I requested off and even with a request off I would still be called on by co workers. I also told my management I have a limited schedule due to college and I was unable to work more than 25 hours a week, however I was scheduled for nearly 35-37 a week despite communicating this multiple times in writing to management. Aldi also has strict rules and I was not allowed to have my phone on the sales floor despite needing it for some work related tasks (eg calculator and calendar.) Aldi also has mandatory meetings once every quarter at 4am… most of the information can be stated in an email or a handout provided at a shift, overall bad management and leadership, I would not recommend.
