Pros

Pay is great. Good team I worked with as well. Decent products with rock bottom prices. That's all I have.

Cons

Sense of urgency at all times as well as being timed for certain tasks. Very tough to open the store especially when the truck is big and someone calls off. I understand Aldi benefits profit wise by running a real lean operation but this model ultimately leads to discontent amongst most morning staff.

Pros

The only good thing about working here is the insurance. Although, you will definitely need to use that insurance due to the inevitable injuries you will get.

Cons

Do not be fooled by the higher pay rate. You will do the work of 3 people every day all day. You will never be done. I gave 9 years of my life and literally bled Aldi. Stayed until all hours taking care of refrigeration issues, power outages, burglary calls, etc... only to discover that they don't appreciate it, and, in fact, get indignant when you suggest that you need more than 4 hours of sleep between shifts. Also, you will be unsuccessful trying to get comp for any work related repetitive motion injuries such as carpal tunnel or neck and shoulder problems.
