Pros

Good pay (but you'll work very hard for every penny,) PTO, benefits, comfortable uniforms; work day goes by in a flash.

Cons

Scheduled only one week out,; end of shift time is rarely the time you actually get to leave; often asked to come in on days off, sometimes to work a 12 HR shift; no work-life balance; constantly under the threat of being fired if you don't meet manager's expectations; unhealthy expectations of speed to accomplish tasks leading to injury and exhaustion.

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay, benefits, fast-paced work environment, freedom to work as an individual or with a group, getting to work with well-priced, (mostly) ethically produced food.

Cons

Literally the worst coworkers I've ever had; 90% of the coworkers were disrespectful, judgemental, and were near exact replicas of the childish gossip-loving people I went to high school with, it's sad. The metrics you have to meet to stay employed at ALDI are incredibly demanding and difficult to maintain with the inconsiderate scheduling of this job. It is not uncommon to work 1 PM - 9 PM then 6 AM - 2 PM the next day, all the while you have to constantly lift 40+ lbs while stocking. I'm in good shape and still young, but after getting off work at this job I feel like I've aged 30 years -- with back pain, sore legs and feet, the list goes on. However this is all due to the fact that I work at one of the busiest stores in the United States, so I'm sure not all stores are this bad.
