Pros

No pros exist in this company at all.

Cons

Short staffing. Very short breaks. Overbearing management. You will get fired if you don't move fast enough. Very dramatic employees. Many, many rude customers. Register system is old and outdated. Communications between management and employees is horrific. Scheduling is awful.

Pros

Higher wage than other grocery stores 15.50 an hour.

Cons

Things might be different in Europe but US Aldi's in Texas are something else. Understaffed on purpose so the store can have less expenses, resulting in bonuses for the store manager. We would only have two or three people during a shift. You are expected to be a cashier, organize the store, restock, sweep & mop the whole store, and clean the bathrooms, at the same time while keeping an eye on the customers who are about to pay. It's been more than two years since I have worked at that specific store and during that time I have seen at least 15 new faces because everybody quits. The schedule is all over the place and changes every week without consistency. One coworker requested one day off months in advance and they told her no without a valid reason.
