Pros

The pay is good if you are a store manager or manager trainee...otherwise the $12 an hour wage for the cashier position is not worth all of the manual labor.

Cons

The nice pay is not worth the sheer hell this company puts its employees through! You are ALWAYS understaffed and expected to do the job of several employees. You are never given any positive feedback and no matter how hard you work it's never good enough. Upper mgmt allows other employees to harass and mistreat new employees and does nothing about it other than tell you "it's a tough training program". Worse workplace harassment I have ever dealt with. I'm shocked they aren't being sued left and right for a hostile work environment!

Pros

- The pay is the main reason people go for a job at Aldi & its the main reason I have stayed. - If you have a good team (which I do) it makes the day at work so much easier! - You are never bored, there is constantly something to do, if you cant find anything your not doing the job properly. - Stores are small so easy to navigate and get used too.

Cons

- Shifts are very mix & match one day I could do 12-7 and the next day 6-4 - Hours are very varied I could get 25 one week and 30 another - Hours are sometimes long and can be very tiring - YOU WILL WORK LOTS OF WEEKENDS - Management think there way better than you and can be quite rude. - Tills are dated (have to work out change & type in codes for produce) however do not worry, you will eventually get used to doing it! - always check your pay slip, sometimes your hours get cut without you knowing.
