      Pros

      The money and the benefits are the only good part about this place. The money isn't that great and there's little room to move up.

      Cons

      Everything else. This place is a joke. The management treats you like crap as do the district managers, which are kids straight out of high school with a god complex. They always play favorites and look for any excuse to fire someone if they don't like them. An assistant manager had been with the company 25 years and was fired 2 months before retirement so they didn't have to pay her. A store manager finally quit after nearly 25 years because she couldn't take it anymore. Stay far away from this god forsaken place.

      Pros

      Benefits (Cigna, company paid life insurance, 401k, pregnancy support, non-smoking support, etc.) for full time were nice with lots of time allotted for vacation, sick, and personal. They really put you to work so you lose weight and learn how to be very quick and efficient throughout your tenure. You get to meet awesome people whether it be co-workers or eventual regular customers. The pay was more than most other places would offer.

      Cons

      Never having more than 3 people at a time scheduled, night or day. They'll promise midshifts to have that extra coverage but rarely ever followed through, which makes for a constant sense of urgency. DMs don't care what you've done or how much you've done, they always want more and never seem to be satisfied. They also want you to have 100% open availability as well even if you're part time so no set schedules whatsoever. Sometimes customers are very rude and will get mad even after explaining how the store works to them. No opportunity to grow because no one takes the time to teach you anything. You also are almost always covered in bruises and cuts because of how physical it can be.

      Pros

      25 hours qualifies you for full time so you're able to receive benefits, paid vacation, sick leave, 401k. Usually flexible with schedule though at first you have to be fully open to make sure you get through the interview process or at least say you will make Aldi's schedule a priority.

      Cons

      If you're a shift manager, you will be an associate at times and not receive shift pay.
