Pros
The Benefits are excellent! Nobody can beat the benefits in terms of cost. Constantly moving and lifting. The base pay is usually determined by store volume. Bonus is paid out monthly based on sales and productivity.
Kontras
The work life balance is not good at all. If you are younger and just starting out, this is definitely a great place to start. Being told it is your store to run as you see fit, but if you "think or act outside the box" you are told to change it. Even if it is increasing sales. The stress is sometimes overwhelming so you have to be good at prioritizing your work and time. The longer you work, in terms of years, the physical part will take a toll on your body. Because this is not your typical "Manager" position. You do most of the work and very little leading. There were several times in my many years with Aldi, over 12, that I felt my family was considered second to Aldi.
