Pros

slightly above industry standard wages

Cons

Pay attention to who works in ALDI stores...it is 99% women. Treating us like we're dumb, stupid, slow & desperate. Besides that I was told that I was to be a "robot" by upper management. "slave" workings and zero training. They throw you to the wolves in the deep end on day one and expect you to do "truck" at lightning speed. And no real training on running the forklifts. Sloppy, underdeveloped and careless safety measures with both these jobs(truck & forklift). You also will get "clocked" on every item you ring across the belt & that better be at lightning speed as well, regardless to possible damage to customers food items (big brother is watching!). And you're expected to be an octopus and perform other duties WHILE YOU'RE RINGING!!! If it's not obvious, that takes away from attention to & respect for the customer. I had a shift manager who would talk down to, curse and holler at customers...sometimes right in front of upper management. She was allowed to do this b/c she had the greatest speed on "truck". Sad! Slightly above industry wages doesn't make up for the horror behind those walls.

Pros

I could say the hourly salary, but believe me: it is not worth the stress and humiliation

Cons

working at the cash desk is a true nightmare: no drinks allowed (not even water!) even if you have to stay there for 5 hours straight; no space next to the till in order to force the customers to THROW the items inside their trolley/basket themselves and as fast as possible; you have a target in terms of number of items scanned per minute and the receipts do not even show the change (so if you mess it up because you are working like a pinball, that will stay on your personal file); and the imposition of getting your face shaven except for some 'Religious' reasons is even racist
