Pros

Keeps you fit. Shifts go quickly

Cons

Your contracted hours are only for a 17wk period in the year. Expected to do full deliveries with minimum staff and unrealistic times. Everything is timed and if these aren't met warnings are given. Health and safety is always broken when it comes to lifting heavy items above head hight. Shifts cancelled half hour before you start. Roster always changes including on your days off resulting in you not knowing when your in. Good hourly rate but minimum hours resulting in it being the same as minimum wage. Moral always down and always expected to give more!

Pros

Great pay Hours were always there The manager at my location is a rare gem. Never had a boss quite like him. Everyone I worked with became like my family.

Cons

EXTREMELY physically demanding. I injured myself multiple times while I worked there.

Pros

+ industry leading wages Associates - $12/hr, Shift Mgr - $16/hr, SMT - $23/hr, Store Manager - $75,000+/yr + great work environment + excellent training + health, dental, vision, life insurance, 401k + 40-50 hr/wk with paid overtime Very fast paced so work hours fly by. I loved working at Aldi. The pay was great! Benefits great! Was training to be a store manager so a lot was expected of me but I was totally up for it. My store manager loved my work, associates loved my fairness, customers loved me.

Cons

+ work/life balance + walked 28,000 steps/day!!! Never thought I would be fired for clocking in only minutes late!!
