Hands down the worst job I've ever heldG

Pros

the pay is great, and the benefits are decent

Cons

Everything else. Days off come one at a time, so say goodbye to a "normal" 2 day weekend. Management is stubborn and at times hostile. The work is backbreaking and being criticized for what you do is commonplace. No sense of accomplishment in this job either... The work never varies and is never done. You don't get a chance to stand back and look at what you've accomplished because you never really accomplish anything. Think of the hamster running his ass off on the exercise wheel but never really going anywhere. That's exactly what it feels like to work at Aldi.

Pros

Good pay and benefits for working class job. This is a great place to work if you have always been the employee that does most of the work while others putter around and do nothing but receive the same pay. The workload demands that everyone be active and working--there are no slackers, which is great. You will be busy, and time will usually go quickly.

Cons

Schedule is never steady, which is a company standard. In other words, you will never work only day shift or evening shift, or be off on Sunday. Managers are directed to vary the employee schedules. Aldi can consume your life, especially if you are a store manager. Depending on your manager, shift managers may also become overloaded and burn out.

Pros

You work with great people, and the community you get to work for is wonderful and kind. The regulars are the best

Cons

Nothing really—they pay better than competitors, have benefits, know their process and how to navigate a typical day.
