Pros

The pay for this job is decent for the grocery industry. If you have a high traffic store then you will always be busy which makes time go by faster. There is a nice mix of personalities among coworkers that makes the job more interesting, in my opinion. Great benefits at a low cost and 5% matching on your 401k.

Cons

They tend to run a lean operation, so the pressure of being understaffed happens at times. Retail schedule makes it hard to commit to anything outside of work. Clean shaven policy can be troublesome for ethnic men that are not accustomed to shaving frequently.

I loved working at Aldi. The pay was great! Benefits great! Was training to be a store manager so a lot was expected of me but I was totally up for it. My store manager loved my work, associates loved my fairness, customers loved me.
