Pros

Pay and benefits are better than most places. You get to loose weight because of all the hard work. Day goes fast.

Cons

You will never be good enough. Most employees working there for ten plus years is either because they have no high school degree and English is their second language. This is the type of people that let long because they can’t get a better opportunity elsewhere. People I work with strongly believe if their attitude sucks but they do a great job it’s okay and should affect other team members. There’s research that shows attitude is everything. (No wonder they are working here. )

Pros

I left the restaurant business for a career with Aldi. I knew it would quite literally mean blood, sweat, and tears. But it's nothing compared to the job satisfaction I get from knowing I've made a customer smile or laugh. I love the fact that managers will say "please" and "thankyou", and actively recognise your hard work. It's all worth it, if you're willing to be a team player. The company structure means a pay-rise twice a year. What other industry or employer can guarantee that!?

Cons

I won't lie, it is HARD WORK, and those who are afraid of that would, and should be put off by it. The rest of us don't mind, because we don't mind getting up at stupid o'clock to ensure that produce, chiller, bread and freezer look amazing. Ultimately, it is about teamwork. Future employees need to understand that if you don't put in the effort, you will never get the rewards.
