Pros

The above average base wage. Health insurance for full-time employees. Not having to join a gym.

Cons

The fifty hour or more work week for store managers/district managers. Constant back pain. Demanding work load. Everything falls apart when 1 person calls in sick.

Pros

It's pretty hard to get fired once you are employed at ALDI.

Cons

Poor management. Found my self doing the full-time managers roles on a daily basis. 24/7 availability. This also includes answering phone calls from security and all hours of the night to come in and check if the store is ok. Only get paid the one hours work. Horrible. Dealing with some incompetent employees is a given. Once you have Finnished your job you're are rewarded by receiving the other person's incomplete work. I would not recommend this job to anybody unless they really needed the money or were at uni. There is no work life balance. Just work.

Pros

High turn over rate. You can be fired for nothing. Pallets are exowcted to be done in 30 minutes and if not you can be fired. You will train your replacement

Cons

They have bad attitudes and poor management. The 401k is a big scam. What you put in according to your paystub is not what T Rowe has on file. This company has no regards for their workers. They can fire you and not have a reason and will try and have you sign a letter of resignation (I left on my own account). Poor working conditions I almost slipped and broke my neck on milk spilled from a another employee in the cooler. Unsafe work areas and to be honest the way the meat and frozen items are worked are unhealthy. Frozen items are pulled out for long periods of time they start defrosting and is put back in freezer. They do not get health inspections because they claim to be private. The prices are great but the food handling and the rotation process are not safe. As well you dont get a raise until your second year. Everything they tell you at welcome day is a lie. This company can count on one hand how many 10 year employees they have or have had.
