Pros

great pay and benifits. off every major holiday. constintly busy. ive read alot of the comments on here about how aldi is a horrible place to work amd all. but i beg to differ when in my interveiw i was told exactly what this job intels which is being a cashier, janitor, stocker, basically everything. and i love it there is aleays something to do and your never left just standing there twidling your thumbs. this job is not for everyone you have to be willing to push youself and do what needs done. if ya cant hack it dont take the job but i lovr it. yes you have to be able to throw a pallet in 20 minutes its not hard yes yoy have to check not hard

Cons

moving up from shift manager to manager in training is hard. the way the pallets come in from the warehouse are very frustrating sometimes

Pros

The only reason is the money.It would be a good job for someone that wants to work part time or stay at home moms that are not afraid to get their hands dirty.You will never be bored

Cons

Un real amount of work expected from one person. Breaks are very rarely uninterupted.This is because their is only one cashier and one manager per shift. The physicality of the job breaks down your body and multiple people went out with back injuries. The company is not a place you could retire from. All of the upper management is straight out of college very young and lack the ability to be perseived as a competant leader.
