Pros

Pros are that everyone thinks it's a great place to work.

Cons

Full Time consists of having health benefits and having the opportunity to work 40+ hours per week. To be full time status, you may NEVER request a specific day or days off during the upcoming weeks. What you get is what you get. If you can still work a full week, but would like a Wednesday morning/evening free, let's say, NOPE. It's like you would get punished for thinking to ask. Also, you must be available for all Sunday-Saturday shifts and hours, but you will more than likely only receive 24-30 hours per week. Being PART TIME, you can dictate which days/hours you can work, and receive 20-30 hours per week (not too much less than full time), the only thing you don't get are the health benefits. You cannot pick WHERE you want to work. I lived in an area with about 5 Aldis surrounding me, but I had to commute 40 miles to downtown Chicago to about 5 Aldis. I don't speak Spanish, but I was consistently in stores with a majority of Spanish speaking customers who would end up aggravated with me. On Sundays, you would receive the next day Monday-Saturday schedule. Yep. 24 hour notice, so you cannot function in the world outside Aldi. That fabulous, notorious Aldi pay? If you have a bachelor's degree, you can be a manager and work 55+ hours/week for $20/hr. If not, you get $13/hr.

Pros

Company has a great potential and most of the people are helpful and great

Cons

Some (very few) have been in the company since ages and have personal preferences. They can even throw out employees without warning leaving them stranded. No company policy to review feedback from employees and decisions are mostly taken by the managers without involving the team. Basically a bureaucratic environment.
