Pros

Higher pay rate, but their moto is "you do the work of two people" true but you dont get the pay of two. When i first worked for them , they had alot of pros but everything has changed, everything, we still have insurance but not that great, people starting out make as much as you no matter how long or hard you work, we use to get kick off days to vacations , no more. Sorry not many Pros, according to customer we get to sit...lol

Cons

Nothing is good enough, pay raises dont exisit, everyone makes the same pay, lifting , late nights, full time is 20 hours, upper managment has a god complex , you work with a skeleton crew . Managers dont last and neither do Dm"s..

Pros

Good money, good benefits. Customers were nice.

Cons

The only reason I worked for aldi as long as I did was the pay. After being accused of several things I didn't do, I was told (as most employees are) to quit or be fired. I quit. There are many things I disliked about this company. First, you'd have to work some nights til 11pm, then come in at either 530 or 6am the next day, leaving an insufficient time between shifts for sleep. Working with 5 or 6 people total in a store open 7 days a week was ridiculous. No one would help out if you needed to call off. Also, the way we handled food disgusted me. Taking out rotten strawberries and repacking the "good" ones into a new container together? UGH. Not to mention, when we had to load the freezer or cooler, we'd have to take out all of the pallets and leave them sitting in the back room until we were done putting in product. There would be days when frozen food would sit out for upwards of 5 hours. The wages we were paid were great, at first, but you soon realize the truth about they way this company is run, and it's not worth it.
