Pros

Good pay and excellent benefits that start quickly.

Cons

People think you make a lot because they pay 10.00 an hr. for a cashier, but full time is 20 hrs a week and to earn that 10 bucks you stock merchandise every where freezers and coolers. You also have to clean sweep, edge mop, clean fixtures and worst of all the restrooms which my store did not even supply you with gloves. I had to bring my own. While cleaning and stocking you are expected to keep an eye out for customers, which to a certain extent is fine unless you are fare away or cleaning the bathrooms, yes they even want to stop in the middle of cleaning the restrooms to wait on people. Also if they call you and ask you to come in and you do thinking your going to get extra hours, then later in the week they come up with some excuse to send you home early. Also they didn't always give you proper breaks they would send you so late some times, that you almost felt ill. The first day I worked like 9 hr. and only got one 10 or 15 min. break per the district managers instructions.They also time how many items you ring a minute and expect you to fling peoples groceries back in there cart. I am writing this because I have moved and they are about to open a Aldis here and I just wanted to warn people who were thinking of applying here.

Pros

The starting wage is above industry standard.

Cons

More times than not did not get scheduled breaks. Stores are horrendously understaffed yet management sends workers home if store targeted sales per hour fall short. Travel 40 minutes to get to work for a 5 hour shift and get sent home after 3 hours. Training, particularly on the non register equipment is not sufficient.
