Pros

Hourly pay higher than most areas... although the work is extremely tough, even for someone in shape like me.

Cons

Somewhat poor and quick training--I had many questions that were unanswered. Daily task routine was not really explained. Unsafe conditions if you are not tall or strong. The freezer is unbearably cold unless you have on 10 layers. The store itself is also extremely cold and in the short time I was there, had many people complain when they went through my line. Management brushed it off.

Shift Manager

Pros

Aldi does pay more than our other close competitors and the benefits are some of the best out there. Fast pace and always evolving

Cons

Very labor intensive and demanding, physically and mentally. Biggest down side to being a shift manager is, you only get paid as a shift manager when you are scheduled as a manager. Meaning on average you make $4.00 less an hour when your scheduled as an associate, even if you have the prospective of a manager and do "managerial tasks"

Pros

Pay and benefits are great You will get a nice workout

Cons

You will be over worked and have little to no appreciation, be asked to pick up shifts when you haven't even been trained or worked at all. They are discriminatory towards those with other skills that don't necessarily pertain to this job. You will injure yourself - it will happen because your rushed to be fast an thats all that matters.
