Pros

Above average pay, but that's because you do the work of multiple people. I enjoy that intensity. This job is not for everyone, it's not a typical grocery store operation and the public seems to think we get to "sit in the chair", that is probably the number one misconception about any position at Aldi. If you're not a fast moving multi tasking master of all, do not come to Aldi, you'll just drag the rest of us down trying to pick up your slack.

Cons

Nearly impossible to be promoted any higher than shift manager. If you're looking for advancement opportunity, keep moving.

Pros

It will be hard to find more responsibility coming out of college. They pay and benefits speak for themselves, but the work is rewarding. It is not for the faint of heart, but they let us know that from the start. You will not learn by sitting on the sidelines, they will throw you into the action. You will be engaged from day one and expected to contribute, which is refreshing. They attempt to hire the best, and will hold you to that standard.

Cons

Hours, work-life, and stress. This is more so at the beginning, but you will be working some hours in this position. Like I stated above, they attempt to hire the best, and hold you to that standard. They will push you for results, and if you are not returning them then you will have discussions with upper management. Again, this is only a con if you make it; most who work hard will get over this hump and enjoy successful careers and move up within the company. They tell you upfront about all of the negatives and I have not felt deceived yet. Be honest and work hard and everything else works out.
