Pros

Only pro is the pay if you plan on not living by yourself or you don’t pay bills. You also will maybe find some friends of your coworkers because of your bond that forms from the hatred of the establishment.

Cons

The job is back breaking work. You’re gonna end up with back problems period. You think you’re getting paid a good amount at first and then you realize wait, for everything I do I should be making more. You’re a cashier, a stocker, a deli, meat, produce, cooler, freezer, employee you do it all and at the same time everyday. And not only is it a crazy amount of work each day, they’re gonna expect you to come in early or stay late because they’re probably short staffed as usual. So don’t even think about making plans after work bc you’re probably not gonna get out on time. And expect to get asked to come in on your days off and then get mean mugged the next day at work because you said no. It’s a miserable place that’s takes advantage of it’s employees with an add on of rude customers that could care less about your feelings.

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!!
