Pros

good insurance package and acceptable vacation time

Cons

Not a family company. Very hard to balance things of work and life. No schedule restrictions allowed, must be free all days. On call on days off, often asked to come in early and always stay late.

Pros

Fast pace work load and great pay. ALDI is flat out a hard job and takes getting used to but once you do, your work day flies by. It's not for everybody and people tend to quit very quickly. If you have a good work ethic, ALDI is a great place to be.

Cons

High turn over, # of hours per week fluctuates, no fixed schedules for anybody even management, You get sick pay and personal days but management WILL make you feel guilty for using it. ALDI is so short handed all the time that if you call in sick, often there is nobody who can replace you. It is also company policy that you are responsible for finding somebody to replace you. I got the flu once and wasn't able to leave my bed. When I called in sick my manager gave me a list of people to contact over the phone and just said "you'll have to get somebody to cover you".

Pros

Never an issue with money. The day always moved by quickly. With the smaller store layout you always felt like you knew what was going on in your store.

Cons

The hours were endless!!!!! After five years my entire body was worn out and I slipped two discs in my back. Benefits are getting worse by the year. If you want to see your kids don't ever become a manager!
