Pros

None that I can think of

Cons

1. They sell you lies to get you to work for them. 2. They ask for availability but never mention your schedule is not going to be as they say. You pretty much have got to be available from 6am to after 12am. Why? Because when closing they’re always under stuffed. The store is always a mess and they want you to swipe, mop, clean bathrooms, box, throw away bad food, fill in, do everything. So even if it says you’re gonna be out by 10. When there’s only 3 people closing and out of those 3 two work you’ll be out by 12:30am 3. They hire pretty much anyone. Meaning, your coworkers are gonna be mostly uneducated, bad mannered, nasty people. They ones that stay for more than a year are usually people who just gave up in life. And don’t care about not learning something or doing something new. They are gonna make your life miserable cause you’re a new hire. Making you do everything. Giving you nasty looks and yelling at you . 4. Managers and shift managers are not properly trained or educated on how to deal or talk to people (employees) they yell at you all they long, talking about numbers, rate, how many costumers you took, how many items you rang, how many carts of go back you did, how many pallets you finished. 5. Aldi’s are mostly on really poor and bad areas. So that means your costumers are gonna be really bad, uneducated and dirty (literally) people. You are gonna get sick really easy since they don’t even give you gloves to work with ( I was sick twice on my first two weeks working there ) 6. There’s the manager (male) and the rest of workers are female. I guess they only hire women since we tend to be more submissive and may don’t like confrontation. And still they want you to work like a man lifting heavy things all the time. 7. Managers have no boundaries. They would text or call you are any time of the day. If you call out cause you’re sick you’re gonna get a call right away pretty much like an interrogation: it’s horrible 8. It’s a boring but really hard work. If you wanna deteriore you’re health fast then work for them

Pros

The salary pay, monthly bonus and benefits are great.

Cons

The required hours you need to work are too much. There is no support from your District Manager. You will never hear you're doing a good job or anything positive for that matter. There are no opportunities for career advancement to a District Manager or higher so what do you work so hard for?

Pros

Great team spirit, great pay, chance to move around the country and take your job with you.

Cons

If your face doesn't fit and you don't conform to brown nosing then you have nearly no chance at progressing in this business. If you work all the hours under the sun to prove yourself it will still go unnoticed. You can't trust any senior manager as they will divulge everything upwards, downwards and sideways. Get given false hope of progression for it never to materialise.
