Pros

Full time benefits for part time work 18 hrs and up. Insurance provided at no cost to employee for individual coverage,minimal cost for family coverage.Decent start wage for type of work.You will never be bored as there is always something to be done.

Cons

Ridiculous amount of focus put on ring speed, to the detriment of products as well as employees.Caters to lower socio-economic levels thereby forcing you to deal on a daily basis with ridiculous people who can't seem to add to save their lives,let alone remember their PIN numbers.Customers are very flustered by the speed of checkout which leads to them being rude.On an average day there are 2 employees in entire store to handle both stocking and cashier duties, which means in order to function you must move at top speed 100% of the time.Breaks are taken in an 'as you can get them' fashion which often is in 2 minute increments.Hours fluctuate greatly based on sales predictions.You may have 38 one week and 15 the next.

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!!
