Pros

Fast paced environment helps the days pass, Smaller staff and helps build strong teamwork and accountability. Great starting salary and benefits. New stores continue to open allowing for growth.

Cons

Very high stress, and company culture asks that you are always available regardless of days or time off. Extremely high expectations often result in longer then scheduled days.

Pros

They pay good money (for a retail job...)

Cons

No time for anything. You're just running like a dog from your till to whatever you've been doing and than you just can't finish it because there's never enough manpower, and you know why? Because aldi is so cheap that they would rather watch you working out your soul than paying at least one extra staff member. The other funny thing is when they call you on you day off to come in as fast as you can (means max an hour....) and if you say no than they put your name in the "black book"... Not talking about sick payment... Yes, there is such thing but you're not really allowed to get sick unless you'd like to have some trouble with management.... Oh and management, they do nothing all day. They can have 30 minutes payed and 30 minutes unpayed brake but you can't. In fact, you don't even have payed brake even though it's in your contract. You HAVE to start 15 minutes before your shift (so you have to be there at least 30 minutes before your shift....) and you never finish in time, and they don't change the rota for 15 or 20 minutes.... This list could go on and on... I WOULD NEVER RECOMMAND ALDI TO ANYONE unless you want no life.
