Good job if you like being physical

Store associate

Pros

Fast paced environment, especially on the weekends. You always have something to do, whether it’s cashiering, stocking, cleaning, etc. Base pay got moved up to 12.35 after I was working only a month, so that was nice. For an entry level store associate position, I don’t think you can expect to make more than that.

Cons

Very labor intensive, ALDI runs on working as few people as possible as hard as they can, and this can catch up to you quickly. I know multiple people that have been hurt on the job, and luckily management is pretty cool about giving you time if you need it. The job is already demanding, so a solid team is a must. If just one person calls in without a replacement, the whole store will be hurting all day. To reiterate, if you like staying busy and being physical all day, this job is for you. If you’d rather not be sore and on your feet most of the day, this is definitely not the job for you.

Pros

Better pay than most other grocery store jobs.

Cons

Small store staff makes it hard to schedule or reschedule. A call out always left some one working for extra time, sometimes 5 or 6 hours extra. Turn over rate was high and our store was ALWAYS under staffed.
