Pros

Good pay compared to others in retail. Having a good team and a good manager made the job easier. Good training for onboarding.

Cons

Physical job as you'll do/learn pretty much everything in the store. Depending on the manager/store, you can get "stuck" in the same position for too long and not progressing in your career.

Pros

better pay than similar positions elsewhere, good benefits, active/always moving, having a good crew/management team can make the work manageable, ALDI's efficiency drives costs low so being a part of that can be fulfilling,

Cons

unrealistic corporate expectations, high turnover, calling off as ASM is very tough and attendance policies are strict, bad crew/call offs forces a LOT of work on you, consistently understaffed as corporate pushes to be more and more efficient, exhausting both mentally/physically, no sales based pay so busier stores have to do significantly more with no added compensation, not much chance for mingling with coworkers, District Managers are rarely hired internally so many are out of touch with the actual day to day operations,
