Pros

Aldi pays well and the overall atmosphere makes you feel like your contribution matters. Also, great coworkers as well, makes your workday more enjoyable; never a dull moment.

Cons

Depending on who's your store manager, they set the tone of the store, you either love it or hate it. Also, upper management (district managers) are constantly breathing down your back. They lack actual experience in grocery retail most likely just got the job straight out of college, rather just have the "book smarts" for the job. Heard they don't like to promote from within with those positions. Could use room for better work/life balance; always feel like you're constantly on call. They don't believe in set schedules.

Pros

Great staff, great pay, great food, just an overall positive experience. Mangers were good but not great. Just very inexperienced. People were always calling off then they had to cover

Cons

Far distance from my house, the computer system is super outdated, sometimes customers feel rushed. Maybe have employees clean more and less stacking high so customers can reach.
