Pros

Customers, sitting at register, low prices

Cons

Your life, regardless of your position, revolves around ALDI. You receive no respect from upper management, your DM will most likely be male, around 21 years old right out of college, very rude, and they all look a like.

Pros

Pay is very good. You get more time off over Christmas than most other supermarkets. The staff work hard.

Cons

Store managers can't recruit or discipline their own team, this has to be done by an area manager. Area managers are graduates and have never had a job or managed anyone before. Due to their lack of actual experience they are brainwashed by the company and believe that everything is easily achievable when it isn't. They regurgitate silly stories from inspirational books instead of actually helping you to do your job. They like to micromanage and expect you to leave your personality at home. You need to be a robot. They discipline managers for minor mistakes but let staff get away with anything.
