Pros

Good pay. Nothing else. Nothing.

Cons

Area Managers are usually children. "Directors" as they are called (they are not in the legal sense) have never worked anywhere other than Aldi and therefore know nothing other than what Aldi people have taught them. They would be laughed out of the room were they to be interviewed for a similarly senior role in any other business. Culture of fear, intimidation and micro management will grind you down and dilute any interpersonal skills you have. There is no opportunity to progress for Store Managers. If you like working in a military style dictatorship then this is the company for you, otherwise you will hate it.

Pros

Your so busy the tes goes by fast. Good pay and benefits.

Cons

10-12 hour shifts, 30 min. break, very understaffed. If you have a family it's not the job for you!! Unfortunately the pay and benefits make it hard to leave "golden handcuffs "

Pros

There really aren't many. The insurance is decent and doesn't cost the employee much. You are offered sick days except you can't use them when you're actually sick because you're expected to be there no matter what.

Cons

There is never enough time or people to do everything that needs to be done. If you are sick or hurt or your child is sick or hurt you still have to come to work or your job is threatened. You are always called in early or have to stay later than you are scheduled to get the required tasks done. No one is appreciated. Even if you work 6 days a week they make sure you don't go over 40 hours a week, The pay is not worth the headache. I wouldn't recommend this job to anyone.
