Pros

It's very physical and you don't need a gym membership (once again, there's Aldi saving me money!). The starting pay is great, it's $12.00 now I believe. It's a great atmosphere and requires a lot of work but can be rewarding.

Cons

Some managers are really lazy and hard on their employees. I ONLY say this because it's a situation of "do as I say, not as I do". You'd better do things properly even if the manager NEVER does because either way, you'll be talked to or called in.

Pros

Good starting salary - 32k for inside M25, growing number of locations, friendly head office team, some great store colleagues

Cons

Promise of good work/life balance is quickly removed, lack of inspiring leadership, no motivating factors other than money, ruthless line management, no time to complete your training, little focus on colleague engagement, under-performing colleagues not dealt with due to strict turnover targets, dirty stores, no focus on store service, no way to escalate customer feedback, lacking a people approach.
