Pros
Pay, benefits, fast-paced work environment, freedom to work as an individual or with a group, getting to work with well-priced, (mostly) ethically produced food.
Cons
Literally the worst coworkers I've ever had; 90% of the coworkers were disrespectful, judgemental, and were near exact replicas of the childish gossip-loving people I went to high school with, it's sad. The metrics you have to meet to stay employed at ALDI are incredibly demanding and difficult to maintain with the inconsiderate scheduling of this job. It is not uncommon to work 1 PM - 9 PM then 6 AM - 2 PM the next day, all the while you have to constantly lift 40+ lbs while stocking. I'm in good shape and still young, but after getting off work at this job I feel like I've aged 30 years -- with back pain, sore legs and feet, the list goes on. However this is all due to the fact that I work at one of the busiest stores in the United States, so I'm sure not all stores are this bad.
