Pros

Aldi is a stable employer that has good benefits. I have worked at a number of different stores over the years and there is a big difference in individual store management. A good store manager who has a good team can make the difference between a good experience and a bad one.

Cons

In the past a lot was expected of all employees - now much less is expected of new employees and the people who have been around for years are expected to make up for that fact. Aldi used to pay more then minimum wage which made the fact that they expected much more then other places acceptable. With the minimum wage going up it is becoming increasingly hard for Aldi to sustain their business model of expecting so much more of their employees then other similar places. Aldi stores have a very limited staff that is expected to perform miracles in keeping the store looking good, stocking and keeping the store stocked, fast customer checkout along with many other duties. This is getting harder and harder to do as long term employees are leaving and new people coming in do not have the same work ethic.

Pros

You would only work here for the pay lets be honest... Also no drug test if that fancies some of you...

Cons

-If your store manager has unreal expectation you’re going to have a bad time - You might need a back replacement if you spend 5+ years in the job - The amount of customers you serve is insane and it will drain your charisma
